Overview and Setup for COD for Pell Grants and Direct Loans
Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) is the system you use to communicate with U.S. Department of Education (ED) for Pell Grant (Pell) and Direct Loan (DL) awards and disbursements.
Note: For information about using COD to report Federal Work-Study earnings to ED, see Overview and Setup for COD for Federal Work-Study Earnings Reporting.
Before processing COD files for Pell and DL, you must complete the appropriate COD award program setup options for Pell Payment and Direct Loans. Verify that you have done these setups:
Warning! Do not change Pell ID Reporting values in the middle of an aid year. The Pell Grant payment and origination processes reference student awards which are in an Institution context and not directly related to a Pell ID. The Pell ID Reporting for Pell Grant processing is derived from the Institution using the Pell Payment Setup.
