Update Packaging Status Summary's Acad Career Field to UGRD

Purpose: Use this document as a reference on how to use a population selection update to find students who have an Acad Career of UKWN (unknown) and who need an update to UGRD (Undergraduate) so the records can be picked up for awarding.

Audience: Financial Aid Staff responsible for ISIR Suspense Management and files ready for File Review

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

  • ZD FA Pop Update

Additionally, you will need access to the Population Update Record (Table): STDNT_AID_ATRBT - Packaging Status Summary

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

The Academic Career field on the Packaging Status Summary page can become a blank or UNKN in the following scenarios:

- The student was not active in the UGRD Acad Career at the time the initial ISIR was loaded for that student for the aid year

- The student was in two Academic Careers at the time the initial ISIR was loaded for that student for the aid year

- The initial ISIR for the aid year was force loaded from suspense (i.e. using ID Lock and ‘Add ISIR’ instead of fixing the issue causing the ISIR to suspend and selecting ‘Recycle’)

Many FA queries as well as packaging equation engines include the STDNT_AID_ATRBT and the criteria of ACAD_CAREER = ‘UGRD’ so it is important to update the field appropriately.

This pop-update process finds and updates student who have an Academic Career field value of blank or ‘UNKN’ for the prompted aid year but are currently active in the UGRD Academic Career.
