Setting Up Your School Codes
To set up school codes, use the School Code Table (TIV_SCHOOL_CODE), Campus OPEID (SFA_COD_CAMP_OPEID), and School Codes for Institutions (INST_SCHOOL_CDS1) components.
A school code is assigned to each institution participating with the Department of Education and is used as an identification code during Electronic Data Exchange (EDE). In addition to its use in EDE processing, the Title IV school code is used to track a student's aggregate aid history.
This section discusses how to:
Define your school code.
Define your Campus OPEID codes.
Associate federal aid years with an aid year.

Use this page to set up campus OPEID codes for campuses and designate default codes.
COD requires schools to report a student's physical campus of attendance as the Enrollment School Code using the 8 digit OPEID codes assigned to your institution. You may enter as many unique combinations as is required to support your processing. However only one unique Campus and OPEID Code combination can be designated as the default for COD disbursement use. COD processing uses Campus OPEID setup and the Campus field on a student's Financial Aid Term record to determine what OPEID Code should be reported to COD as the Enrollment School Code. The Enrollment School Code is maintained at an individual disbursement level and can be overridden for an individual student on the student's COD Origination record. Once an actual disbursement has been reported to COD, the field will no longer be available for override.
The Enrollment School Code can also be updated on both the Loan and Pell origination disbursement records with the Population Update process.
