Originate Offered Awards

Select to originate Pell awards with an award status of offered. Otherwise, the system originates only awards in offer or accept status.
Use Fulltime Enrollment

Select to use full-time enrollment. The system builds the field for all originated students using full-time enrollment, regardless of the student's actual enrollment. For example, if you select this check box and a student is enrolled part-time, the system reports the student as full-time. To report and originate a student as full-time with maximum Pell, you must also select the Originate Max Pell Award check box.
Originate Max Pell Award (originate maximum Pell award)

Select to direct the system to originate the maximum Pell award amount for all originated records. The maximum Pell award is defined on the Pell Payment Setup page (PELL_PMT_OPTION).
Hold Corrections

Select to hold corrections. The student record goes on hold when the acknowledgment comes back with corrections. Further processing cannot occur until the status is set back to ready.
Disb Prior to Transmitting Rec (disburse prior to transmitting record)

Select to verify that Pell Grant funds have been disbursed to the student's account before you transmit a disbursement record. The disbursement process does not pick up a student's disbursement record until the student has been paid through PeopleSoft Student Financials.
Payment Period Start Date Req (payment period start date required)

Select to indicate that the institution is ineligible. You cannot process a disbursement request unless the process date is equal to or greater than the reported disbursement date.
