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. |
Packaging Details

CPS Transaction#: Shows the ISIR revision number of the packing data a user is viewing
Packaging Date: If auto packaging is run this date gets auto populated; can be manually adjusted
Package Status: Shows the current status of the Packaging record

Please note that for the 24-25 ISIR the new valid Class Levels are 1,2,3,4 (4 now being for graduate/professional degrees). However, COD is still using levels 6 and 7 for graduate programs. Therefore, until COD adjusts their processes to match the FAFSA grade levels, upon import of a 24-25 ISIR grade level 4 will be automatically converted to grade level 7 to allow for proper origination in COD.

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.
"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.
