COD Export

1. Select a Report Entity ID.

   The list contains Reporting Entity IDs for the campuses that you have access to. The default selected Report Entity ID is the Report Entity ID associated with the default campus for the logged-in user.

   Depending on the configuration of your campus location, Pell grants and Direct loans can have the same or different Report Entity IDs.

2. Select an Award Year or accept the session default.

3. In the Campuses list, select All Campuses or a specific campus.

   The list contains all campuses that share the selected Report Entity ID. Only campuses that you have access to will be listed.

4. The File Type indicates COD Export.

5. Select one of the available Export Type options depending on your campus configuration.

   • Origination and Disbursements

     Pell grant, TEACH grant, and/or Direct loan origination and disbursement data is submitted to the COD system in Common Record XML format. For all Common Records received and processed by the COD system, a Response document is returned indicating the record status, including any rejected data elements and the reason for the rejection.

     When you select Originations and Disbursements, you must specify further selection criteria.

   • Grant - Data Request

     Data Requests are sent by schools to request files. Data Requests are sent as fixed-length, flat files and not as XML documents. After the Data Request is received and processed, a Data Request Acknowledgment record is returned to the institution.

     When you choose Grant - Data Request, you must select a Grant - Data Request Message Class. Each option will display a different Results page after selecting Next.

     If you want to ...	Select this option
     Request information on other schools that have submitted origination records for certain students to identify and resolve potential over-award payments and concurrent enrollments	Pell Data Request - Multiple reporting
     Compare your institution's internal records with the COD records to identify and reconcile differences	Pell Data Request - Reconciliation Record
     Determine the status of your institution’s current funding level versus the net draw-down of Pell grants for the award year.	Pell Data Request - Statement of Account
     Determine the total grant amount disbursed to the student for the year	Pell Data Request - Year-to-Date
     Determine the status of your institution’s current funding level versus the net draw-down of Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants for the award year	IASP Data Request - Statement of Account

   • Direct Loan - Master Promissory Note

     The Master Promissory Note (MPN) is required for Direct Loans. It is a legal document in which borrowers promise to repay direct loans and any accrued interest and fees. Signed MPNs and an MPN manifest that lists the borrower’s name and MPN IDs for each MPN must be printed and sent to the Department of Education.

     The COD Export process validates the MPN Expiration Date, i.e., the MPN must be valid for the award year associated with the loan and must be in accepted status.

     Note: As of Regulatory 13.1, the COD Export process allows all endorser-approved Grad/Parent Plus Direct Loans to pass the MPN Expiration Date validation. Previously, Grad/Parent Plus Direct Loans were blocked in the COD Export process when the MPN Expiration Date was before the Award Begin Date.

     When you select Direct Loan - Master Promissory Note, all remaining fields are hidden. Choose a Direct Loan - Master Promissory Note Option from the following list.
