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.

Prerequisites

Important: It is essential for institutions to accurately configure their Federal Work-Study (FWS) Reporting Entity ID and FWS Attending Entity IDs, with COD's assistance if needed. This foundational step influences the entire FWS reporting process.

  1. Select the Settings tile > expand System > select Campuses > select the name of your campus > select the Financial Aid tile. 

  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.

You must have the following authorization:

  • Common - Processes - View

  • Financial Aid - Processes - Campus Based Export for COD - FWS

You should also be familiar with:

Access Method

Select the Processes tile > expand Financial Aid > select Campus-Based COD Export.

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.

  1. Under Selection Criteria, select a FWS Reporting Entity IDClosed Specify the Federal Work-Study Reporting Entity ID for each campus participating as a full participant..

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

  2. Select a Calendar Year or accept the session default.

    For the first year of implementation, the default is 2022. As new calendar years are added, the most recent or newly added year will be set as the default.

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

  4. Under Fund Options, the Federal Work-Study check box is selected by default and cannot be edited.

    For the first year of implementation (2022), the FSEOG (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant) option is not available.

  5. Under Other Options, the Identifier Changes option is enabled and selected by default for the 2023 calendar year. The system will pull records with Identifier Changes (specifically Last Name) based on the selected Reported Entity ID, Attending ID, and Calendar Year (2023) and export the Identifier Changes created by the background job that are in "Not Sent" status on the Campus-Based Programs form.

    • If the Identifier Changes are Accepted, the system exports the accepted Identifier Changes to COD on subsequent exports of FWS records to COD

    • If the identifier Changes are Rejected, the system exports the "old" Identifier Changes to COD on subsequent exports of FWS records to COD.

    Selecting calendar year 2022 disables the Identifier Changes checkbox.

  6. Select the Queue Student Review button.

  7. The Submit Batch window displays the default Batch Name. You can edit the Batch Name.

  8. Select Submit in the Submit Batch window. This starts the background job to process the data and create a batch based on the selection criteria.

    When you export or regenerate a file from the Process tab, the notification “[EDEPATH\Filename] file created” indicates that the process finished successfully and the file is created.

  9. When the job is completed, a notification appears in the command bar. The number of failed jobs will be indicated in red (Notification).

    • The job status “Succeeded” indicates that the process is finished with no exceptions.

    • The job status “Completed” indicates that the process is finished with exceptions.
