Student Program/Plan Change Incorrectly Resets the STDNT_CAR_TERM FA_LOAD to an Older Value - in Cases When the Newer Value Had Been Correctly Set Previously With a Manual Adjustment to Student Enrollment 'FA Progress' Units (Doc ID 3047652.1)

Last updated on DECEMBER 05, 2024

Applies to:

PeopleSoft Enterprise CS Student Records - Version 9.2 and later

Symptoms

After making and saving a change on Student Program/Plan component, in the specific case where a student previously had the 'FA Progress' units adjusted on the Enrollment component for one or more term classes, the STDNT_CAR_TERM.FA_LOAD is seen to adjust to the value corresponding to the original total number of units, once again factoring in the class or classes that since had the 'FA Progress' units adjusted.

This issue has been verified to occur only when the program/plan is change made early enough on the calendar to be effective for the current enrollment term(s).

FA_LOAD, when calculated based on enrollment data, is expected to always be based on the current 'FA Progress' units. The change to the  'FA Progress' units on a class would most typically be an adjustment to 0 after a manual determination that the class is not Financial Aid eligible for the specific student.  In those cases, it clearly does not make sense that the class(es) that had those units zeroed should go back to being factored into the Financial Aid Load determination, if only the program/plan is changed and there is no further corresponding change in enrollment.

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

  1. On Records and Enrollment > Enroll Students > Enrollment > Student Enrollment 1, for a student enrolled in multiple classes with 'FA Progress units > 0, adjust the 'Fa Progress' to 0 on one or more classes such that it will change the student's calculated load for the term.
  2. Query STDNT_CAR_TERM and note the FA_LOAD is updated correctly at this point.
  3. Records and Enrollment > Career and Program Information > Student Program/Plan > Student Program, make a change - such as to program or plan - a program change that will (still) be effective for the term in step 1.
  4. Repeat step 2 and note FA_LOAD has been adjusted with no further change to UNT_TAKEN_FA.
