Package Detail Page

About Financial Aid Package Detail Page

The Packaging Detail page allows users to review details of a student's current ISIR and allows for overriding and adjustments for the auto packaging feature. Please review this documentation as certain fields directly affect a student's cost of attendance calculation, packaging, and verification reporting to COD/CPS.

Note:

Any overriding ISIR field changes that are made on this screen will NOT be transmitted to CPS automatically; any changes to ISIR fields made on this page should be done for estimated auto packaging. Any edits should be made directly through the FAA Access website or through the student's FAFSA page.

CPS Verification Tracking V-Codes: Identifies the applicable verification group for a selected record.

V5 = Aggregate Verification Group
V6 = Household Resources Verification Group

CPS Selected for Verification: Shows if a student is selected for verification

Y = Selected
N = Not selected
* = A earlier transaction was selected for verification

COD Verification Status Code: IMPORTANT- Select status code for student if applicable.

"V" is used when ... The school has verified the student.
"W" is used when ... The student was selected for verification by the Central Processing System (CPS) or by the school, and the school chose to pay a first disbursement of the Pell Grant without documentation as provided for in the regulations at 34 CFR 668.58.
- Note: The "W" code must be updated to "V" once verification is complete. If the code is not updated, the Pell Grant will be reduced to a zero dollar amount ($0.00) when Federal Student Aid performs a global reduction of disbursements for awards with a "W" status.
"S" is used when ... The Central Processing System (CPS) selected the student for verification, but the school did not verify the student for one of the following reasons:
1) The school was not required to verify the student in accordance with the exclusions from verification provided for in the regulations at 34 CFR 668.54(b). These exclusions are outlined in the "Application and Verification Guide" of the "Federal Student Aid Handbook" posted on the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site (www.ifap.ed.gov).
2) The school was not required to verify the student because it had already reached the 30% verification threshold as provided for in the regulations at 34 CFR 668.54(a).
3) The school participates in the Quality Assurance Program, and the student's application did not meet the school's verification criteria established in accordance with the waiver of verification requirements in the Quality Assurance Program.
Blank - Note Regarding Leaving the Field Blank: A school does not need to submit a verification status code and should leave the field blank (nil = "true") if the student was not selected for verification or if a selected transaction was received by the school after the student was no longer enrolled.

COD Export Verification: Check this flag to send status to CPS upon origination or disbursement of aid.

To verify in a batch what students have or have not been verified the "Verification Complete Report" in the Financial Aid Base Reports can be run.
