CAMPUS BASED FUNDING USER ACCESS TO COD

Posted on by Peter Terebesi

Federal Student Aid is transitioning business processes for the Campus-Based programs to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System during March 23-25, 2018. Schools will begin using the COD System for Campus-Based business processes on March 26, 2018.

To access the system, users will need to:

  • be enrolled for the COD Online Service by a school’s (or Third-Party Servicer’s) Primary Destination Point Administrator (PDPA) via the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) Enrollment website
  • have an FSA User ID and password
  • have a valid/registered Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) token

If you’re already a eCB user and a COD user, you’ll probably get access automatically. But if you aren’t you’ll need to request access through your Primary Destination Point Administrator, get a TFA token and get a FSA User ID and password. Instructions and stuff are here.

FSA CAMPUS BASED SYSTEM MOVING TO COD

Posted on by Peter Terebesi

Federal Student Aid will begin the transition of business processes for the Campus-Based programs to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System in spring 2018. Now through February 5, 2018, everything will remain in the current eCB system. But on February 6, the eCB website will be closed. All campus-based processed will be off-line for schools until the Department completes the transition in March. COD is expected to go live on March 25, 2018.
As a reminder, requests for a waiver of any 2018-19 Award Year penalty for the underuse of 2016–17 Award Year funds should be submitted to the Department using the eCB website’s FISAP process (Part II, Section C and the Additional Information screens). Requests must be submitted no later than midnight Eastern time (ET) February 5, 2018.
