Original Package Plan Rule

Use this rule to repackage the student but maintain the award rules and percentage of awards of the original packaging plan used to package the student. The system reevaluates the student's package using the same eligibility rules and limit controls (aggregate, package plan, item type) as used in the packaging plan.

Note:

Do not combine other repackaging rules with this rule in a repackaging plan.

If the student was not previously packaged by the Auto Packaging feature or the Mass Packaging feature and no packaging plan ID exists, an attempt to repackage with this rule fails. This error message is sent: Bypassed during Repackaging Process - no assigned Packaging plan found.

You can choose to reduce or cancel awards below their disbursed amounts by overriding the Disbursement Protection attribute established on the FA Item Type 2 page.

For the Original Package Plan rule, the Repackaging process:

• Cancels all awards except those loaded by the External Award process and locked awards.

• Reduces all disbursement protection awards down to the disbursed amount or below if the Reduce/Cancel Disbursed Amount check box is selected.

• Repackages the student, reevaluating from lowest sequence number to highest sequence number.

For example, if a student was originally eligible for a Student Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG) because the student filed early and money was available but then during repackaging SEOG funds are no longer available or the student now fails to meet the eligibility criteria, the student is not awarded the SEOG during repackaging unless it is a locked award.
