Repackaging Pell Grants

If your system

• has existing awards with a Disbursement Plan/Split Code that includes only Academic terms; and

• you want to tie these existing awards to a Disbursement Plan/Split Code that spans both the Academic and Non-Standard terms,

you cannot use a repackaging plan that incorporates the Repackaging Rule Validate Item Type for Pell item types. This is because Validate Item Type always uses the Disbursement Plan/Split Code tied to the existing award. You can use the Repackaging Rule Use Original Plan to repackage Pell Item Types that require a Disbursement Plan/Split Code change. If your institution does not intend to award Pell Grants in Leading or Trailing Summer terms, you can use the Repackaging Rule Validate Item Type for Pell item types.
