9.2 Authorization Failure Report

Purpose:  To run the authorization failure report in ctcLink.

Audience:  Financial Aid staff.

Used to review student aid that failed to authorize for disbursement.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZD FA Director
  • ZD FA Disbursements
  • ZZ FA Disbursements
  • ZZ FA Funds Manager

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Known Issue for the FA913 PDF:

Any authorization of an award that you 'override' will continue to remain on the report because the error was not 'resolved' but 'overridden'. It would be the same idea for those awards that have never disbursed due to an authorization failure then you cancelled their awards. The error remains on the report since the authorization process will not pick up a combination like $0 Accepted $0 Authorized $0 Disbursed to re-authorize the aid. The report looks for one of those amounts not being a non-zero.

Workaround:  

The queries CTC_FA913 and QCS_FA913_WITH_ERROR_COUNT have additional criteria of "authorized amount do not equal the accepted amount" so the students mentioned above as a known issue are eliminated from the results.
