C. HR/Payroll Team and LMS Updates a. HR is working diligently on Payroll and data clean up in preparation for conversion this week.
D. Financial Aid Team Updates – Chris is off campus, but sent this written report a.
I only have one response from my posting on the list serve so I will wait until next week to report on that in more detail. Hopefully I will have more responses by b. then.
I have emailed Larry Author, auditor at OU (as suggested by Caryn Pacheco, former Cameron FA director) regarding allowing other departments, mainly
Athletics, to post their own scholarships. He said unofficially he likes the idea but wants to get some input from some of his other colleagues. He said he would get back to me this week but so far I haven't heard back from him.
c.
FA continues to test and practice. Robin is doing a super job as are all of the counselors. The big task ahead of us is setting up all of our scholarship and tuition waiver funds. Anna was only required to set up the federal funds, Pell, SEOG, loans, and etc.
d. Chris posted the following to the FA listserv about processing awards in Banner: i. We would like to know how other schools handle it when students wish to drop a class during the 100% refund period and also when a student wants to withdraw from a class after that period. We have a mandatory 10-day
100% drop period (mandated by our state board of regents) where a student receives a
100% tuition and fees refund for what they drop. We require them to pay any money owed back to the Pell Grant program before they are

Discussion, Information allowed to drop. In our current legacy system, when a student goes to drop/withdraw, there is a pop-up message that tells the person doing the drop that this student has federal financial aid and has to come see us before they can
"override" the pop-up and drop the class. (We don't allow students to enroll/drop/add classes themselves. They must go to their advisor or to the Registrar's Office.) I then do a calculation and inform the student that they have to pay so much back before they can drop. I also counsel them how this will affect their SAP.
E. Finance Team Updates a. Last Requisition training is this Friday. b. Ninette sent an e-mail to that stated the Business Office will be processing all invoices received in our office by
December 11 in our current system. This processing date will ensure that vendor payments are processed prior to the holiday break and allow for a clean transition to Banner Finance in January. Invoices received after December 11 will be processed in
Banner Finance in January. c. Approver training will be finalized this week. d. Requisition workflow has been completed and tested.
