Enable the Configuration in the UI

You do not have to complete any setup in the user interface to enable this configuration.

Required Permissions

You must have a role with the following General Permission(s) and/or Document Permission(s) through Roles Management in order to enable and view the configuration in the UI.

  • Administration
  • Student

See Set General Permissions Matrix.

Considerations for Configuration

  • These dates are based on guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Education. You can set more restrictive dates but you should not set less restrictive dates.
  • When you open this workbook the date format may be automatically changed by Excel. You may have to update the date format (e.g. MM/DD/YYYY) of all date columns before saving and deploying updates to the environment.

Configuration in the User Interface

The configuration is visible in the Student Financial Aid User Interface if you navigate to the following screens:

  1. Administration > FAS Management > Regulatory Management
  2. Student Search > Student Record > USDE > ISIR
  3. Student Search > Student Record > USDE > Common Record Information
  4. Student Search > Student Record > Financial Information > Disbursing

Understanding How the Baseline Configuration Works

FAFSA Completion Dates

The system begins to accept ISIRs in SFA from CPS as of the FAFSA_Start_Date and stops accepting ISIRs as of the FAFSA_End_Date.

ISIR Correction Dates

The system submits ISIR corrections to CPS as of the ISIR_Correction_Start_Date and stops submitting ISIR Corrections to CPS as of the ISIR_Correction_End_Date.
