Convenient Anti-requisite Rules
Anti-requisite rules are now supported in the new Requisite Rules feature introduced in version 23.2.2. You can now use the Deny Registration option available in the Allow/Deny Registration field to specify an anti-requisite. Anti-requisites deny registration when they are met. For example, if the anti-requisite specifies MAT120 or MAT125 with a minimum required GPA of 2.0, Anthology Student prevents a student from registering for MAT101 if the student completed MAT120 or MAT125 with a GPA of 2.0 or higher.
You can now specify anti-requisites, configure one rule, and then apply it to multiple courses. There are multiple methods for adding and managing requisite rules.

Create Enrollment API Request
The Enrollment Number provided in the Create Enrollment API request was not being saved appropriately.
Additional Information:
-
Institutions need to ensure the uniqueness of the Enrollment Number that is being passed in the Create Enrollment API.
-
The API calls should come in sequentially so the validation for unique enrollment number works appropriately.
-
If multiple API calls are coming in at the same time with the same enrollment number, the validation for unique enrollment number will not work.
-
This will happen if all the requests arrive (come in) at the same time.

Approve Disbursement to Pay Process Validates Previous Education on Bachelors Degree Options
When the “Bachelor Degree” field in the Disbursement Approval Criteria is configured as "Bachelor Degree” or "CANNOT have Bachelor Degree" and a user selects the Queue Approval button in Processes> Financial Aid > Approve Disbursement to Pay, the following validation sequence occurs:
-
The system validates if an ISIR is on file and determines the degree level in the ISIR.
-
If no ISIR is on file or the degree is not specified in the ISIR, the system checks the degree level in the Previous Education and completed prior Enrollment.
-
If multiple records are available in the Previous Education, the system determines the graduation date and uses the degree level from the latest record.
-
If there is no Previous Education and the student has completed a prior Enrollment, the system uses the degree level from the prior Enrollment.
-
If multiple records are available in the prior Enrollment, the system uses the degree level with the latest graduation date.
-
If both Previous Education and prior Enrollment records are available, the system uses the degree level with the latest graduation date.
If any of the above conditions are met, the Approve Disbursements to Pay batch will be approved, otherwise, it will fail.
Location - Select Processes > Financial Aid > Approve Disbursement to Pay.
Delete All Options for Scheduled Awards
The Student Web App now enables users to delete multiple or all scheduled awards from the Awards tab by using the select all check box at the top of the column.
The system checks the origination status or the status of the disbursements for the awards to be deleted and returns a message if an award cannot be deleted.
Example:
While the message is displayed, awards that can be deleted will remain selected in the background and will be removed from the grid when you confirm the deletion.
Location: From the Student Profile, select Financial Aid > Awarding > Awards tab.
Enrollment Intensity Added to Term Summary
The Enrollment Intensity (EI) on the Term Summary is relevant for term-based programs. The actions that populate the Enrollment Status will also populate the (EI). This will happen on financial aid terms where a corresponding registration action occurs regardless of the Award Year where the term is intended. The Pell Calculations will only use it in Pell Calculations for 2024-25 and beyond. Note that non-term programs will have the EI column, but it will be empty.
Location - From the Student Profile, select Academic Records > Enrollments > Term Summary.
Enrollment Intensity Calculations and Support for Intersessions
The Term Usage section on the Terms configuration page provides an input field called "Instructional Weeks (Non-Standard TermOnly)". The value entered in this field is used in the Enrollment Intensity calculations for non-standard term programs.
-
Full-time Credit Formula = Instructional Weeks defined on the Term * Credits on a Full Academic Year from Program Version / Weeks on a full Academic Year from Program Version
-
Enrollment Intensity Formula = Full-time credits calculated for the term / Financial Aid credits in the term (could be multiple courses)
Location - Select Configuration > Academic Records > Terms.
The Advanced Feature page provides an option to enable the system to recognize intersession registration periods in a future release. This will allow the system to combine a non-standard term with a standard term for purposes of reporting dates to COD, Clearinghouse, and Enrollment Reporting. When intersession terms are enabled, the Intersession check box will become available on the Term configuration page (Configuration > Academic Records > Terms). Users can then select the Intersession check box for terms categorized as child terms and linked to a parent term with the Financial Aid Usage box selected. The child term can start or end outside the parent term dates. When the Intersession option is selected, the "Intersession Start Date" and "Intersession End Date" fields are updated in the database.
Location - Select Settings > System > Advanced Features.
New Enrollment Intensity Field
The Enrollment Intensity field is now available in the Term Summary section of a student's enrollment. The field will be used to recalculate Pell Awards and disbursements for Award Year 2024/25 and beyond.
Enrollment intensity is the percentage of full-time enrollment at which a student is enrolled, rounded to the nearest whole percent. For example, if full-time enrollment is 12 credit hours and the student is enrolled in 12 hours, the enrollment intensity would be 100%. If the student is enrolled in 7 hours, the enrollment intensity would be 7 ÷ 12 × 100% = 58%. Pell grants are prorated according to the student’s enrollment intensity rounded to the nearest whole percent.
The Enrollment Intensity field will be presented for every financial aid term, however, for FA terms falling in an award year prior to 2024-25, the field may not have a value. A value could be populated for prior terms if enrollments are unregistered or dropped.
Location - From the Student Profile, select Academic Records > Enrollments > Term Summary.
Enrollment Intensity on Scheduled Disbursements for Pell Grants
The Scheduled Disbursements grid will now display the Enrollment Intensity field which will be used when calculating Pell disbursements in 2024-25 and beyond. The field will be displayed for any award year but only used in the amount calculations for 2024-25 and beyond.
Location - From the Students Profile, select Financial Aid > Awarding > Awards (select Pell) > Scheduled Disbursements.

-
If no ISIR is on file or the degree is not specified in the ISIR, the system checks the degree level in the Previous Education and completed prior Enrollment.
-
If multiple records are available in the Previous Education, the system determines the graduation date and uses the degree level from the latest record.
-
If there is no Previous Education and the student has completed a prior Enrollment, the system uses the degree level from the prior Enrollment.
-
If multiple records are available in the prior Enrollment, the system uses the degree level with the latest graduation date.

Location - Select Processes > Student Accounts > Release to General Ledger > Open Batches tab.
90/10 Reporting for the Non-Federal Portion of Commingled Funds
As a result of clarification received from the Department of Education regarding the 90/10 reporting rules change, the 90/10 logic for reporting periods starting on 1/1/2023 or later in Anthology Student (web app and legacy) has been updated to report the non-federal portion of a commingled fund source in the first category of “Funds from Other Non-Federal Resources” and applies it toward the eligible institutional charges first. As a result, none of the Title IV funds and none of the federal portion of the commingled funds are used to pay for institutional charges. The federal portion of a commingled fund source is reported in the “Funds from non-Title IV Federal Sources” category (existing functionality).
-
For current period calculations, refunds against a commingled fund source are attributed between the non-federal portion and federal portion of the payments based on the fund source configuration.
-
For current period calculations with stipends against a commingled fund source, stipend amounts up to the maximum federal portion will be excluded when calculating the net payment available for that fund source in the “Funds from non-Title IV Federal Sources” category. Any remaining stipend amount (non-federal amount) is included in the calculation of the net payment available for that fund source in the “Funds from Other non-Federal Resources” category.
-
For prior period calculations for a commingled fund source, the net payment amount (payments minus refunds and stipends) is attributed between the non-federal portion and the federal portion of the payments based on the fund source configuration. The 90/10 logic applies the payments in each category to pay for charges in the prior period using the existing hierarchy and places any credit balance in the appropriate category in the current period.
Location - Select Reports > Student Accounts > 90-10 Report by Revenue Source.
Validation to Restrict Posting when "B" COD Records Exist for Title IV Funds
When posting refunds for Title IV funds that involve records to be reported to COD, Anthology Student does not allow posting refunds if there are any Disbursements at COD records (D - Disbursement, A - Adjustment, or Q – Disbursement Date Adjustment) that are in R (Ready to Send) or B (Batch to Send) status for the specific disbursement number that is being refunded. The system displays the following validation message when refunds cannot be posted due to existing Disbursements at COD records: “There fund cannot be posted because there are pending adjustments that have not been sent or processed by COD.”
Location - Select Processes > Student Accounts > Post Refunds.
Connected Enrollment Billing
As part of the Connected Enrollment billing enhancement, a new configuration option has been added to the Billing Method configuration in the Student Web App and legacy interface. When the billing frequency is set to Term, the system displays the “Connected Enrollment Billing” field with Yes/No options. The default is No.
If “Connected Enrollment Billing” is set to Yes, the following fields are populated as shown below and cannot be edited:
-
Automate Registration Charges =Yes
-
Auto Correct Course Detail = Yes
-
Posting Type = Aggregate
-
Use Term Group Billing = No
-
Range = Credits and Hours are enabled. All other Range options are unavailable.
Locations -

Configuration > Student Accounts > Billing Methods > New
-
Lists > Student Accounts > Billing Methods
Initial Charges
When registering courses in two connected enrollments, Anthology Student can be configured to calculate the initial billing charges based on the combined credit load registered in each enrollment and bill only the enrollment marked as default. Combined credit load billing for connected enrollments is available only for the Term billing frequency. Terms must be shared between enrollments/campuses when billing for connected enrollments. When the enrollments are connected and one enrollment is marked as default, the default enrollment billing method is the one used for billing regardless of the billing method associated with the secondary enrollment. This also applies to course sections offered at different campuses other than the default.
Drop/Reinstate Courses
For students dropping or reinstating courses in two connected enrollments, Anthology Student can be configured to calculate billing adjustments or re-bill charges based on the combined credit load for both enrollments and bill only the enrollment marked as default. Adjustments for tuition discounts will be calculated based on the campus configuration for the default enrollment. When courses are dropped in either enrollment, the Course Refund Policy configured under the default program version or campus will apply. Pending charges will be calculated on the default enrollment.
Cash Receipts Summary Report - Preview and Export to Excel
Users can export the report preview to Excel by selecting the Excel option from the toolbar in the Report Preview section. The resulting Excel file shows the data in a similar format as the preview.
When the "Export to Excel" button is selected from the Report Selection section, the resulting file contains the raw data for the report. The data is not formatted like the data in the Excel file generated from the Report Preview toolbar.
Location - Select Reports > Student Accounts > Cash Receipts Summary Report.
Third Party/Agency Invoices - Option to Select Specific Students from the Results Grid
The Results grid on the Processes > Student Accounts > Third Party/Agency Invoices page now enables users to select specific records to be included in the batch. By default, all records are selected.
Location - Select Processes > Student Accounts > Third Party/Agency Invoices.
ACH File Uses Service Class Codes Based on Configured Transaction Types
The Process Electronic Drafts process generates an ACH file that allows users to export either ACH payments (debits) or ACH refunds/stipends (credits). Anthology Student never generates an ACH file that contains both ACH payments and ACH stipends in the same file. However, before version 23.3. Anthology Student created ACH files with Service Class Code 200 which indicates the ACH files contain a mix of debit and credit transactions. This caused the ACH files to be rejected by some banks.
Anthology Student 23.3 and later uses specific Service Class Codes based on the configured Transaction Type. The system generates:
-
Service Class Code 225 for ACH payments
-
Service Class Code 220 for ACH stipends
Location - Select Processes > Student Accounts > Process Electronic Drafts.
Additional Properties for Billing Transaction Codes in Views
The Views feature in Anthology Student now exposes additional properties for the Student Accounts > Transaction Codes object such as properties relating to 1098T.
Location - Select Settings > System > Extended Properties.

The grid on the Ledger Card page has been adjusted so that the column headers and the horizontal scroll bar are always visible regardless of the user’s screen size or resolution.
Location - From the Student Profile, select Student Accounts > Ledger Card.
Posting Zero-Dollar Amounts on the Ledger
The Student Web App now allows clients to post zero-dollar amounts to the student’s ledger and subsidiary ledger for the following types of transactions:
-
Charges (Satrans.Type='I')
-
Adjustments/Debit Memos (SaTrans.Type='D')
-
Payments (SaTrans.Type='P') where Payment Type = Cashonly. No other payment types are allowed to have zero amounts.

-
Funding Description
-
Fund Status (Accepted Amounts and Declined Amounts)
-
New loan amount if the student opted to decrease the offered amount
The grid will not list details of funds that the student previously accepted or declined.
To proceed with the final submission, the student selects the Submit Funds button. To return to the Financial Aid Offer page, the student can select the Cancel - go back to adjust button.
Once the student submits the funds:
-
The Accept and Decline buttons will no longer be displayed for the individual funds on the page
-
The fund statuses will be updated to Accepted or Declined depending on whether the student selected Accept All Funds or Decline All Funds.
-
For declined funds, the Net Amount, Fee Amount, and Gross Amount/Total Amount will be updated to zero (0).
When a student selects the Submit Funds option, a Contact Manager task is created in Anthology Student. The status for the respective funding is set to 'Accepted' or 'Declined' depending on the option selected by the student.
Success Message upon submit
When a student selects the Submit button on the confirmation message for the accepted/declined funding, the following message appears:
Display of Net Cost Amount

Users with this permission can view the Financial Aid Overview page under Configuration > Student Experience but cannot modify the configuration. To modify the configuration, a user must have both View and Edit permissions for the Financial Aid Overview.
If Student Experience 23.1.0 is deployed with Regulatory 23.2.0, the View permission is inherited by just giving Edit permissions in the Web Security Console; in other words, the user can view/save the Financial Aid Overview configuration page when only Edit permission (no View permission) is given to the user.
