Enhancements

DEV-1925

Newly Added “Earned” Clock Hour field has been added to clock hour report. Earned clock hours have also been added to the student finder grid (earned hour filter has been added), disbursement roster grid, Course Roster Clock Hour Report, and the Individual Student Clock Hour Report selected from Course Roster Page.

The “Earned” clock hour field will not calculate hours for a course that are not earned.

An Earned Hour is defined as an attended hour for a course that does not have a failing final grade for that enrollment. If the final grade is failing, the daily row and the summary rows will show 0 earned hours.

A Failing grade is defined as all of the grades marked as “failing” in the quality point maintenance.

  • CUI//FTI-TAX IRS transferred Tax information has added to the FAFSA on Page 4 with the required labeling.

  • New Enrollment Intensity “Full Time Term Credit Hours” field has been added to the Major/Program Setup page in order to calculate Pell based on a student’s enrollment. If student is not enrolled, the system interprets the student will be packaged as full time.

    • Example: If Full-Time Term Credit Hours is set to 12 hours and the student is enrolled in 9 hours in the Fall semester, their enrollment intensity will be 75%. If SAI is 0 they will be packaged as $7395 - SAI 0 = $7395 x .75 = $5546 Packaged

  • Default Housing selections have been added to F/A Control to be based off of a student’s residency code in the Session Data Record.

    • Housing options have been removed from the FAFSA, so housing will now be reliant upon a student’s Dependency status and the Session Data Record. If Session Data record doesn’t exist, it will be based on the student’s Dependency status alone. Housing options can be manually adjusted under the ISIR Packaging detail page.

  • Note: As this is a complete rewrite of the ISIR by the Department of Education, please contact support on any discrepancies that you may see.
