In this example, assume the award has already been offered/accepted.  You have determined that the student is enrolled half time instead of full-time, and you have confirmed you need to reduce the amount of the disbursement to reflect the half-time enrollment level for the term.  Use Custom Split to reduce the term-only award without having to re-do the entire award.  It is ideal to use this function if the award has not yet been authorized/disbursed.  If it has already authorized/disbursed, ensure you run the authorization/disbursement process to initiate the changes to Customer Accounts.

  1. The Award Entry page displays.
  2. If an award that has already been awarded, enter B the award field.
