Reviewing Equation Examples

This section contains examples of equations. It details three equations that are used to create loan validation edits for financial aid. These equations are delivered with the system as part of the Loan Validation process. This section discusses these equations:

Packaging selection.
Packaging calculation
Verifying student is enrolled.

Sample Packaging Selection Equation resulting in a ASSIGN GLOBAL A_SELECT = True or False result. This equation provides an answer to the question Is a student an undergraduate? (FAPDUGRADS, Verify Student is an Undergrad):

Line Number	Equation Keyword	Operand Type	Operand
1	IF
2		Global	ACAD_CAREER
3	=
4		String	UGRAD

9	ELSE
10	ASSIGN	Global	A_SELECT
11		String	F
12	END ASSIGN
13	END IF

Sample Packaging Calculation Equation resulting in a ASSIGN GLOBAL A_AMOUNT = numeric value result. This equation provides an amount Set the award amount for an early admission student (FAPDEARLYADM, Set early admission amount):

Line Number	Equation Keyword	Operand Type	Operand
1	SKIP

21	END ASSIGN
22	ELSE
23	ASSIGN	Global	A_AMOUNT
24		Number	1250.00000
25	END ASSIGN
26	END IF
