Campus-Based COD Export

You can use the Campus-Based COD Export process to report student-level Federal Work-Study (FWS) earnings to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system in the Campus-Based XML schema version 1.0a.

Under the FAFSA Simplification Act, the Department of Education uses school-reported data for the FWS Program to calculate the Student Aid Index (SAI) for aid recipients in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) processing cycle beginning with award year 2024–25.

The Campus-Based COD Export process involves the following steps:

  • Specify the selection criteria for the records to be extracted from the database

  • Select the records to be included in the export file and export the selected records to the COD system

  • Review the history of batches that have been exported to COD

The data is transmitted to the COD using the response message class CRCBMYIN, which is non-program-specific and non-academic year-specific. The web response message class is CRWBxxIN.

For more details about the FWS reporting process at the student level, see Campus-Based Programs.

Financial Aid Processes File Management

Anthology Student version 22.0 and later enables customers to manage files in Azure File Storage using the Financial Aid Processes File Management form under Processes > System Administration. Without this form, users cannot upload or download files to Azure File Storage due to security restrictions. The file management functionality enables you to place files in the location where specific financial aid processes (e.g., Application Data Export/Import, Clearinghouse, NSLDS Reports, and others) expect to find the files. For more details, see Financial Aid Processes File Management.

  2. On the COD & Packaging tab, in the COD Entity IDs section, specify the values:

    • FWS Reporting Entity IDClosed Specify the Federal Work-Study Reporting Entity ID for each campus participating as a full participant.
    • FWS Attending Entity IDClosed Specify the Federal Work-Study Attending Entity ID for each campus participating as a full participant.

Procedure to Export Campus-Based COD Files

Process Tab

The Selection Criteria section of the Process tab enables you to specify the data set for the Campus-Based COD Export file.

The Campus-Based COD Export process checks whether records selected for export are already gathered in a Student Review Batch.

  • If a batch is currently processing (not in Complete or Succeeded state) and you try to queue another batch with the same selection criteria, you will receive a notification indicating that you cannot queue the batch until the previous batch has finished processing.

  • If a batch has been successfully processed and you try to gather another batch with the same selection criteria, the process checks if the record is already in another open batch that has been gathered but not exported yet. The process then will not regather the same record.

Student Review Batches Tab

The Student Review Batches tab enables you to review the student records included in a temporary batch. Before creating the final batch, you can remove student records that do not need to be exported to COD.

History Tab

The History tab contains detailed information about the records included in a batch. You can review the details and decide whether to regenerate or cancel a batch.
