COD Grants

You can use the COD Grants tab on the COD page to provide the information for processing data related to Pell and TEACH grants (all of which are considered COD grants).

Anthology Student builds the origination record when packaging from any method for COD grants. The packaging process uses the student AY grade level to populate TEACH grade level information on the origination record.

Anthology Student validates COD grant awards and informs the user if any required information is missing before the grants are exported to COD.

Prerequisites

You must have Financial Aid - Settings - Manage authorization.

Your institution must have configured entity ID numbers for Pell.

You should be familiar with the Background for COD Grants.

    UEI NumberClosed Specify the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) to be stored in Anthology Student. This field accepts 12 alpha/numeric characters. The Department of Education transitioned from the use of the DUNS Number to the UEI as the primary means of entity identification for Federal awards government-wide. UEIs are required in accordance with 2 CFR Part 25, and the transition from DUNS to UEI has resulted in the UEI being issued by the Federal Government in SAM.gov. This means entities no longer rely on a third party to obtain an identifier (i.e., a DUNS issued by Dun and Bradstreet).
