Back On The Trail
 Recent releases have brought lots of changes.
 8.20 – 150% Sub Loan processing and an update to Transfer
Monitoring processing.
 8.21 – FISAP for 1314 and SAY!
 8.21.1 – Startup for 1516

West Virginia Network
Still On The Trail
 8.22.0.2 – Pell Award and Disbursement Schedule for
1516
 8.22.1 – Direct Loan Streamlining. BBAY processing.
Fixed some issues with EDE and COD processing edits.
The release guide is 405 pages and it took two webinars
to cover it – those are major changes.
 8.22.1 patches – defect fixes.
 8.23 – Due at the end of April. COD updates for 1516.
You must have 8.22 installed before you can install 8.23.

A Side Track
 RNASL15 – Yes, you can override information on this
screen. Before entering the form, change the source to
manual, then do next block. A warning box will pop up.
Say ok. You can now make changes and save. This will
be the current record until a new transaction gets
loaded. You may have to make the manual record
current again.

West Virginia Network
Still On A Side Track
 Why do I have to update RNASL15? Banner uses NSLDS
history. If a previous school processed a Pell or loan and
then sent corrections to COD, the corrections may not
happen in NSLDS for months. COD is the authority
since they receive the change immediately. Update
RNASL15 to match COD so Banner can award or
disburse the fund.
10
West Virginia Network
Don’t Trip Over Roots
 Continuing on the path to period-based awarding.
 Now includes Direct Lending.
 Don’t forget to allow period accept/decline on the web
(self-service).
 RFRMGMT, ROAMGMT, RFRMUPD (mass update).
11
West Virginia Network
Look Out For Stumps
 There is a new tab on ROASTAT.
 Period Status Tab added.
 The lock indicator will prevent the Banner Year in College
from being overridden during batch posting or other
automatic processes.
 Banner will still use Banner Year In College from
RNANA16 if no Algorithmic rules are present.
 The alternative is to use algorithmic rules to calculate
the Period Year In College (RORALGO) and batch post it.
12
West Virginia Network
SAY, How Does That Work?
 SAY is meant to be a guide by which COD determines
the length of the academic year for that student.
 The rule of thumb is that the SAY can be longer than the
period but should not be shorter.
 Fall-only and spring-only would have a SAY equal to
fall/spring so each reflects 50% of a year.
 If you add summer, you have to increase the SAY to
include summer so you don’t go over 100% of an
academic year.
13
West Virginia Network
Crossing Over The Stream
 Summer is a crossover period whether it crosses the aid
year or not.
 Go over the examples provided in the release guide for
more help.
 If you have different aid periods with different start/end
times, use a new SAY for those so correct usage
percentages are used by COD.
 Two places to mark ‘crossover’ – RORPRDS (required)
and RORSAYR (required).
14
West Virginia Network
Stray Breadcrumb
 If you have paid a fund, you can’t change the aid period
so you’re stuck with the SAY that’s already there.
 If you need to update the SAY to include different
periods for a DL Sub loan, you can enter an override SAY
on the bottom of RPAAWRD.
 Keep that 8.22.1 release guide handy for its examples.
15
West Virginia Network
On The Horizon
 8.23 will bring us MPN functionality.
 8.23 will deliver RERIM16 that will load incoming MPN
files.
 View the MPN on RLADMPN (RLRDMPN table).
 Status codes will alert the user to the exact status of the
MPN. See page 169 -170 of the 8.22.1 release guide for
details.

Way Over The Hill
 Banner 9 is Banner XE.
 Eliminates forms.
 Financial Aid scheduled for spring.
 Requires temporarily logging into Banner and Banner XE
via single sign-on so you don’t know you’ve switched
systems.
 Once you start, you can’t go back.
17
West Virginia Network
Some Simple Rules
 Direct Loan MPN Rules tab is new on ROAUSIO.
 Set up rules by loan type.
 When do you want to create MPN requirement –
Awarding, Acceptance, Origination, Never?
 Displays on RRAAREQ (Direct Loan MPN’s tab) and
ROASMRY (Promissory Notes tab).
 Note that RRAAREQ allows you to customize instructions
by student.
18
West Virginia Network
Finally, A Clear Path
 Direct Loan processing has been completely separated
from Manual and Electronic loans.
 PLUS borrower data can be used from year to year
without re-entering.
 Changes can be made on RPAAWRD and the origination
record will ‘sync up’ without manual intervention.
 BBAY processing is supported.
19
West Virginia Network
A Footprint
 REACODS replaces REASTID beginning in 1516.
 Gets created with the first origination for DL, Pell, or
TEACH.
 Contains more information than REASTID.
 Not aid year specific.
 Use ‘duplicate record’ to make a new record and make
manual updates if needed.
20
West Virginia Network
Fledging The Nest
 Parent loans have their own form now (RLADBOR).
 Student loan originations are on RLADLOR with a link to
RLADBOR under the PLUS Data tab of RLADLOR.
 More functionality coming in 8.23 for attaching PLUS to
student loan record.
21
West Virginia Network
A New Feeder
 RLRDFEE is a new form to maintain origination fees.
 It will feed the fees to the origination process based on
date of the first disbursement.
 Prefilled with fees up to 10/01/14.
 Future updates will be manually entered.
 Banner will display a disbursement error if the fee and
disbursement date are no longer a match.
