Scheduled Refunds Report

You can use the Scheduled Refunds report to generate the list of refunds scheduled and refunds that were processed earlier to be printed. It provides an easy way to make sure all refunds are being made in a timely manner.

If you frequently generate reports with the same selection criteria, you can save the selection criteria under a name. This makes it easier to regenerate the report with the same settings in the future.

Procedure to Generate the Report

  1. Specify the data selection criteria.

    Award YearClosed Select the condition for the award year in the report. The values are Equal To, Not Equal To, Greater than, Less than, Between, Like, and Include All. For example, if you select Between and enter the range (2017-18;2019-20) in the value field, the report displays the award years between 2017-18 and 2019-20 only.

    Campus GroupsClosed The group you specified for the campus. Your institution configures the groups for campuses.

    CampusesClosed The campus where the student or students were enrolled.

    Determination DateClosed The date when the determination was posted. From and To

    Display Payee InfoClosed Select whether to include payee information in the report.

    Due DateClosed The date when the item is due (such as a task, document, or message). For a new task, the default is today. If you are specifying the value, use the format MM/DD/YYYY or select the calendar button and select the date. From and To

    Graduation DateClosed The date when the student graduated or is scheduled to graduate from the program version. From and To

    Last Day AttClosed The last day of attendance for the student. For hypothetical refunds, you can specify any value as the Last Day Attended, including a future date. For Actual refunds, this will be the student's actual last date of attendance, and it cannot be changed. If you select Hypothetical for Calculation Type, you can change it to any date, including a future date. If you change it from Hypothetical to Actual, Anthology Student checks if it is equal to the drop date for the student on file. If it is not equal, Anthology Student changes it to the drop date on file. From and To

    LendersClosed The name of the lender of the financial aid award. Lenders are configured by your institution.

    Load Saved CriteriaClosed Select the saved criteria you want to load in the selection criteria fields.

    StatusClosed Select the status of the refund. The options are Posted, Not Posted, and Void.

    Student GroupsClosed The name of the student group. If your institution has configured Anthology Student to limit groups to campuses, you can only select groups for the campus to which you are assigned. The list can also be filtered to display groups where you are the owner, public groups, and private groups to which you have been given access.

    Student ID to PrintClosed Indicates whether you want to include the Student ID, Social Security Number, Enrollment Number, or None. Note: The ID is printed for each student selected for the report. Most reports have all three student IDs available to print on the report. The SSN is required on some reports. You must be authorized to view social security numbers (SSNs) and to select SSNs in the list. Reports about leads (prospects) do not have an Enrollment ID. The ID selection is not used for reports that do not list individual students.

    Student StatusesClosed The prospect or student status at your institution is configurable and may differ by school. When you change a student's status, you must confirm the update in a dialog box, and if there are pending tasks from the previous status, another dialog lets you choose which tasks to keep or close as canceled. A student's current status (like Active) depends on their history and activation units; simply entering a Version Start Date does not automatically activate them without proper status progression. Status values help filter student records in lists, processes, and reports. Alumni statuses include "complete" or "graduated."

    YearClosed The financial aid award year associated with the record.

    3. Select the Export button.

    Anthology Student exports the generated report as a CSV file, which may be viewed in Excel. In some cases, the exported file will contain additional data not displayed in the report on your screen.

    If you entered special characters like *, -, !, (, or ) in the report fields, Anthology Student automatically prepends an apostrophe to those field values upon export to Excel or CSV. The apostrophe is added to reduce vulnerability, as these characters are perceived by Excel as an actionable formula. Once the report is exported to Excel, Anthology suggests using find and replace on the characters only if necessary to restore original values.
