Defining the Periods of Enrollment (POE)

A Period of Enrollment (referred to as POE) describes an academic term which, combined with other POEs, makes up your organization's academic year. If you use Jenzabar Financial Aid (JFA), the POE ID should correlate to a defined JFA Payment Period. 

If you are using PowerFAIDS, you should define a POE in J1 for each POE in PowerFAIDS. You should have a POE for any academic period in which students might register and receive financial aid and in which disbursements might occur. This option is normally used at the time you initially set up the Financial Aid Manager module. You must have a row in this window for every POE that you have in PowerFAIDS for the current year.  When you run your Parameter Rollover in PowerFAIDS, print the Parameter Rollover Log. This Log contains all information needed to update this window, except for the Financial Aid Period code.

These are defined using the POE Definition window. The information is stored in the POE Definition table. After you have created new POEs, you should then cross-reference or link them to existing terms defined in J1 modules. For more information on this, see Linking POEs to Terms in System Modules.
