Two Approaches: XAP Application vs Self-Service BOGW 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
XAP BOG Application http://corp.xap.com/About/Press_Releases/2005-02-17.asp • Benefits: • they keep it updated annually and provide support • Information from the admission application feeds to the BOG waiver app • BOG Application can pre-populate the FAFSA 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
XAP BOG Application • Downside: • Still have to develop and maintain a local interface • You have to match applications to local records in Banner • You have to handle applications for students who aren't going to enroll • Still have to handle the awarding process locally in Banner • Initial and annual costs to the institution 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Self-Service BOGW • Benefits: • Students enter information directly in WebSTAR on their own record – no interface or upload process • Results are immediate – no delays for uploading application or resolving suspense • No chance of an incorrect match (app loaded to wrong student) • Data loaded directly into Banner tables – facilitates the awarding process, minimizes custom table requirements 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Self-Service BOGW • Downside: • You have to maintain this annually – new data elements, fields, verbiage, calculations, etc. • More time spent up-front developing the application 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Phase 1 – Spring 2005 • Application for BOG Waivers for the 05-06 aid year (beginning Fall 05) • Data entered on-line, stored in the ROBUSDF table • Student still had to print out and bring in the signature page • Staff manually made awards based on the receipt of the signature 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Phase 2 – Spring 2006 • Update for 06-07 aid year • Revised application for new fields, calculations • Integrated 'on-line' signature – no paper signature pages required • Batch process to award BOG waivers • Batch process to post tracking requirements – keeps the BOG from disbursing when additional information is required 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
