Understanding Integration with Oracle Fusion Cloud Student Aid Eligibility

As an alternative to Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions (CS) Financial Aid, you can opt to integrate with either Oracle Fusion Cloud Student Financial Aid (SFA) product:

  • Student Aid Eligibility (SAE) which is limited to ISIR processing features. The SAE product is for United States use only.

  • Student Financial Planning (SFP) which includes ISIR processing, awarding, and disbursement features. SFP supports student financial aid programs in the United States, but can also be used globally.

Neither SFA product supports financial aid localizations for Great Britain or Canada.

This topic describes integration with SAE. For information about integrating with SFP, see Understanding Integration with Oracle Fusion Cloud Student Financial Planning.

The integration between CS and SAE is an exchange of data in the form of receiving specialized messages between the two systems.

CS uses one outbound message to send data to SAE:

Student Initiation/Update Event: Initiates a new (or updates existing) student record in SFP with biographical information from CS. These messages are logged with Message Class of STIN.

CS accepts four inbound messages to receive data from SAE:

  • Student Notification Event: SAE sends a message containing critical action notification data that can be used in the CS Notification Framework, for example, a "Complete your FAFSA" message. These messages are logged with Message Class of NTF.

  • Document Request Event: SAE sends a message containing critical document request data that can be used in the CS Notification Framework. These messages are logged with Message Class of NTF.

  • ISIR Matched Notification Event: SAE communicates when an ISIR has been matched to a student record in SAE. Can be used to signal request of additional ISIR information. These messages are logged with Message Class of NTF.

  • Valid ISIR Process Status Event: SAE provides ISIR status and any outstanding actions within the ISIR process. The CS SAE Handlers use this event to determine the updates to several CS FA records, including the STDNT_AID_ATRBT. Each time CS consumes this message, CS FA records are updated and once this message has a Valid status, it indicates the student is ready for award packaging. These messages are logged with Message Class of NTF.
