Defining Admission Status Cross-Reference Codes

 

It is possible to add or modify existing ADMSTAT codes via the PowerFAIDS Administration module. See your PowerFAIDS documentation for more information about changing field codes. If you do add or modify the ADMSTAT codes, remember to cross-reference the new or modified codes on the Admission Status Cross Reference window. Also, PowerFAIDS expanded the code length for ADMSTAT from 1 to 4 characters but did not provide for this expansion in their External Update process. ADMSTAT codes must be 1 character long only for the Create Student Updates for Financial Aid process to successfully transfer it.

This feature allows you to cross-reference the J1 Admissions Stage code to the PowerFAIDS Admissions Status code. The Create Student Update for Financial Aid process will use this cross-reference information when transferring data from J1 to PowerFAIDS.

When you run the Create Student Update for Financial Aid process, J1 first looks at the J1 Admissions Stage value for each student in the InfoMaker selection query and then looks at the Admissions Status Cross-Reference table and inserts the PowerFAIDS Admissions Status code that is cross-referenced to that particular Admissions Stage code. When the data is transferred to PowerFAIDS, the Admissions Status code will populate the ADMSTAT field (called columns in J1) in the PowerFAIDS database. This field is located on the Academic sheet of the Student Award Year Profile window.

Using the values listed in the table below, a student with a J1 Admissions Stage code of 12 (Admitted) would receive a value of A (Accepted) in the ADMSTAT field when the data was transferred to PowerFAIDS. A student with a stage code of 10 (Denied) would receive a value of N (Not Admitted).
