They are non-standard terms, standard terms of quarters, standard terms of semesters, standard terms of trimesters, clock hours, and credit hours without terms. The default is the academic calendar configured for the program version. If you are configuring program versions from Financial Aid, the list is filtered to show the academic calendars appropriate for the Curriculum Standard selected when the program version was configured from Academic Records.

If you are selecting a group, it can also be filtered to display groups where you are the owner, public groups, and private groups to which you have been given access.

    Title IV EligibleClosed A "Yes" indicates that the program version is configured as Title IV eligible. "No" indicates that the program version is not Title IV eligible. The column is read-only. Users can filter the results by using "Title IV Eligible" as the filter criteria. Users can hide/unhide this column.

    Note: The terms in an academic year are determined based on the program version's term association during Auto Packaging/Repackaging. This is done by using the academic year Start and End dates and not the student's academic year sequence number to calculate the student's budget or award funding.

When the Advanced Feature "Enable Advanced Auto Packaging" is enabled, the Award Disbursement field appears on the Automated Budget and Packaging Options form.
