Linking POEs to Terms in J1 Modules

Using Jenzabar Financial Aid (JFA)

Your POE ID should correlate to a defined JFA Payment Period. 

A Payment Period is the segment of time in which an award is paid, such as for the fall semester that is 16 weeks long. Define a Payment Period in JFA for every segment of time that you want students to be paid for when awarding and disbursing aid. These are then used in conjunction with Award Periods, which may represent the full 16-week session and also two 8-week sub sessions. When adding Financial Aid Years, you need to include appropriate Payment Periods and Award Periods to meet the needs of various student populations.

Using PowerFAIDS

After POEs are created in PowerFAIDS, you must use the POE Cross Reference window to link or cross-reference the POEs to an existing year and term in other J1 modules. You will most likely cross-reference each POE to a year and term in the Admissions, Registration, and Accounts Receivable modules.

This information is used to ensure that financial aid awards are appropriated to the correct year and term in J1 modules stored on the POE Cross Reference table. It also helps select the proper courses for calculating a total credit hour load for a certain POE. This option is normally used at the time you initially set up the Financial Aid Manager module. After that, use it when you have just defined a new POE at your organization in PowerFAIDS, which then must be cross-referenced.
