Override COD Originations

You can use the Override COD Originations page to change awards so that the information matches the information at Common Origination and Disbursement (COD). You can change Direct loans, Pell grants, and TEACH grants.

For example:

  • If there are origination changes for Direct loans that have not been sent, you can also change the status to Accepted or Rejected to match their status at COD.

  • If a student's record has an incorrect Master Promissory Note (MPN) status associated with a packaged Direct loan, you can adjust the MPN status to Accepted so that the record can be exported to COD.

  • If disbursements were applied to the ledger card before a formal release from COD, Anthology Student creates a record in the Disbursements at COD section of the award to report that the disbursement was applied to the ledger card on a specific date. When exporting adjustments, these disbursements are gathered to be sent as well since they must be reported and released. If these disbursements should not have been applied to the ledger card, a user must void them on the ledger card.

Anthology Student does not create origination changes for the changes you make here because you are synchronizing the information in Anthology Student for the award so that it matches the information at COD.

The specific values you can change will depend on the type of grant or loan.
