TABLE OF CONTENTS


A Financial Aid batch is an automatically generated collection of unpaid disbursements. Batches streamline the disbursement workflow for financial aid and accounting teams and prepare records to be added to the A/R Card. 


Individual Batch


The system creates batches from unpaid disbursements:

  • With "Accepted" or "Corrected" disbursement status.
  • Where Disbursement Release Indicator (DRI) is set.
  • With no transactions in the A/R Card.
  • Which were not previously added to a batch automatically.

Financial Aid batches are generated automatically daily at 4:00 AM. When created, each batch receives the initial "New" status. 


The Financial Aid Batch Details page shows individual batch information and a list of all disbursements and refunds in this batch:
