Grant GPA Process

The Grant Grade Point Average (GPA) calculation is cumulative of all coursework, excluding Learning Support (LS) and Dual Enrollment (DE) coursework, taken beginning with summer term 2003 (Banner term code: 200401). Credit Hours for which a student received HOPE Grant or Zell Miller Grant payment at a prior institution (with the exception of Learning Support and Dual Enrollment) count in determining the student’s 30 and 60 hour Checkpoints and in the GPA calculation.

Note: Beginning summer quarter 2008, Banner term code 200901, the course registration status code of ‘KO’ was created and approved as an allowable code. ‘KO’ is the code for coursework taken outside of the student’s major. The 2011-2012 HOPE Regulations’ definition of Learning Support coursework encompasses not only remedial/developmental coursework but also coursework “chosen by the student that does not count toward program requirements for the Diploma, Certificate or Degree the student is seeking”. Courses coded with ‘KO’ are automatically excluded from the Grant GPA.

HOPE Grant GPA eligibility requirements began with end of Fall Semester 2012 (Banner term code: 201212) processing. A Grant GPA of at least 3.0 is required for eligibility beginning Fall 2012. Eligible students must have a 3.0 Grant GPA at the 30 Hour Checkpoint and 60 Hour Checkpoint.

Students with at least 30 semester hours but less than 60 semester hours prior to fall semester 2012 continue to receive HOPE Grant until reaching the 60 Hour Checkpoint.

Students who lose eligibility at the 30 Hour Checkpoint may regain eligibility at the 60 Hour Checkpoint. The 60 hour Checkpoint will include all coursework that would have normally been paid for by HOPE Grant, (excluding Learning Support and Dual Enrollment), had the student met all HOPE Grant requirements. Students meeting Grant GPA standards at the 60 Hour Checkpoint may continue to receive HOPE Grant until reaching 63 semester Grant Paid Hours or 127 semester Combined Paid Hours.

Students who lose eligibility at the 60 Hour Checkpoint may not regain eligibility. (Note: One-time exception for reinstatement explained below for students with at least 2.0 Grant GPA prior to Fall 2013.)

HOPE Grant GPA eligibility requirements changed from 3.0 to 2.0 GPA with the end of Summer Semester 2013 (Banner term code: 201316) processing. A Grant GPA of at least 2.0 is required for eligibility beginning Fall Semester 2013 (Banner term code: 201412).

Students who previously lost HOPE Grant eligibility at a 30 Hour Checkpoint or a 60 Hour Checkpoint due to a Grant GPA below 3.0, can regain eligibility for HOPE Grant their first term of enrollment after Summer term 2013 if they had a Grant GPA of at least 2.0 at the end of their last term of enrollment prior to Fall term 2013.

This change is a one-time reinstatement for ineligible students. Ineligible students with a Grant GPA of at least 2.0 at their last term of enrollment prior to Fall Semester 2013 (Banner term code: 201412) are eligible for reinstatement. Students with a Grant GPA of less than 2.0 are not eligible for reinstatement.

All students (registered and non-registered) will have a Summer Semester 2013 (Banner term: 201316) Grant GPA status calculated.


Overall ProcedureThrough a combination of data retrieved from GSFC and the Banner systems of the TCSG colleges (MIS data), the TCSG Data, Planning, and Research Group (Data Center) merges all data to assist colleges with the determination of the HOPE Grant GPA Checkpoints and Eligibility Status at the Checkpoints.

The data received from GSFC is for all students who received HOPE Grant or Zell Miller Grant at a TCSG College for all terms beginning summer 2003 (200401). The GSFC provided data includes the number of Paid-Hours per term, the college name and federal school code of the institution where Paid-Hours exist, and excluded hours (Dual Enrollment (DE)) for the term. The data retrieved from the Banner systems of the TCSG colleges (MIS data) includes the term and course data, course GPA hours, and grades.

Any discrepancies found between the Grant Paid Hours (GSFC data) and the academic history (MIS data) is provided in a report (ZRRHDSC) and details are loaded into Banner form ZRAGRNT. ZRAGRNT displays the HOPE Grant GPA Checkpoint Eligibility, the Current Eligibility, and all ‘matched’ coursework where the Paid Hours for the term equals the academic history (tab 1). This form also displays all ‘unmatched’ details where Paid Hours do not equal academic history (tab 2). Data entry must be performed to resolve any discrepant information before the HOPE Grant GPA can be calculated. Grade changes affecting the Grant GPA are reflected under tab3. Data entry for coursework taken for ineligible students while at a University System of Georgia institution is performed under tab 4.

All manual data entry is automatically extracted from each college’s Banner system. All discrepancies resolved are identified allowing the calculation of the HOPE Grant GPA.

All students with ‘matched’ GSFC and MIS data will have a HOPE Grant GPA calculated and eligibility determined. Eligibility status codes are assigned.


Eligibility status codes:


ELIGIBLE STATUS

TIER DESCRIPTION DETAILS

Eligible GX Exempt from 1st Checkpoint (> 30 Hours Prior to Fall 2011)

Student has more than 30 hours prior to Fall 2011 and has not reached the 60 hour checkpoint.

Eligible G0 Eligible - Not reached 1st Checkpoint (0 - 29 hours)Student has not reached 30 Hour Checkpoint.

Student lost eligibility at 30 Hour Checkpoint. May regain eligibility at 60 Hour Checkpoint.

Not Eligible N2 Not Eligible – 60 Hour Checkpoint (60 - 63 hours)Student lost eligibility at 60 Hour Checkpoint. Cannot regain eligibility.

Not Eligible MX Maxed – Student reached max Paid HoursStudent in no longer HOPE eligible due to reaching maximum Paid Hours Cap.

Eligibility status codes continued:

NOTES: G6 eligibility status applies to two groups of students. 1) Students who were previously N1 status. 2) Students

who were previously G7 status. o This 60 Hour Checkpoint includes coursework paid for by HOPE Grant and all coursework that would have

normally been paid for by HOPE Grant, (excluding Learning Support and Dual Enrollment), had the student met all HOPE Grant requirements.

o Students that regain eligibility at the 60 hour Checkpoint (G6 status) are eligible for the full number of HOPE Grant Paid-Hours maximums of 63 semester Grant Hours or 127 semester Combined Paid Hours.

G7 eligibility status applies only to students who were N1 status and who had at least a 2.0 Grant GPA at their most recent term prior to Fall Semester 2013 (Banner term: 201412). No term prior to 201316 will be assigned a G7 status. These students continue to be monitored until they reach their 60 Hour Checkpoint. G7 students reach their 60 Hour Checkpoint through a combination of paid and unpaid hours.

o G7 students are eligible for payment until their 60 Hour Checkpoint. The 60 Hour Checkpoint includes all coursework that would have normally been paid for by HOPE Grant, (excluding Learning Support and Dual Enrollment), had the student met all HOPE Grant requirements (N1 status) AND all coursework taken and paid for by HOPE Grant (excluding Learning Support and Dual Enrollment).

o At 60 Hour Checkpoint, a G7 student with at least a 2.0 Grant GPA will continue eligibility under G6 status and may continue to receive HOPE Grant until reaching 63 semester Grant Paid Hours or 127 semester Combined Paid Hours.

G8 eligibility status applies only to students who were N2 status and who had at least a 2.0 Grant GPA at their most recent term prior to Fall Semester 2013 (Banner term: 201412). No term prior to 201316 will be assigned a G8 status. G8 students are not subject to any future checkpoints and may continue to receive HOPE Grant until reaching 63 semester Grant Paid Hours or 127 semester Combined Paid Hours.

MX status is calculated on HOPE Grant Paid Hours. A student could reach their Combined Paid Hours Cap and lose eligibility for the HOPE Grant. The Combined Semester Paid Hours information must be considered in HOPE Grant awarding/disbursing rules.


Overall Procedure continued:

The HOPE Grant GPA Process includes: 1. ZRACTRL (Banner form) – Stores grade dates and automated email contact information. 2. ZRPHPRC (identifies students for Grant GPA request) – Banner process to create request of students for HOPE Grant

GPA calculation. Students are automatically pulled from college Banner systems daily. Note: This process is no longer required as of May 2012. See page 3.

3. ZRRHDSC (discrepancies report) – Banner report of students with missing or discrepant information preventing HOPE Grant GPA calculation.

4. ZRRHGPA (GPA Summary Report) Banner report of students displaying HOPE Grant GPA and eligibility status. 5. ZRAGRNT (Banner form)

a. Tab 1: HOPE Grant GPA Inquiry – Reflects current eligibility, overall Grant GPA, checkpoint details and all courses paid by HOPE Grant.

b. Tab 2: HOPE Grant GPA Update – Reflects details of missing or discrepant data. Data entry into this tab will resolve missing or discrepant information.

c. Tab 3: Grade Changes - Reflects all details of Grant GPA coursework with grade changes.d. Tab 4: University System of GA – N1 Courses – Data entry into this tab of coursework taken that normally

would have been paid by HOPE Grant while an ineligible student (N1 status) attended a Georgia Board of Regents institution.Any diploma or certificate level coursework taken by a student attending a University System of Georgia institution during a term that the student was ineligible for the HOPE Grant due to an insufficient Grant GPA at the 30 Hour Checkpoint (N1 status) should be entered into this tab. The coursework entered into this tab will be incorporated into the student’s HOPE Grant GPA. Entered coursework will be extracted each morning and incorporated into the coursework under tab 1 (HOPE Grant GPA Inquiry). The coursework will be included in the student’s 60 Hour Checkpoint.

HOPE Grant Regulations state:“The 60 hour Checkpoint will include all coursework that would have normally been paid for by HOPE Grant, (excluding Learning Support and Dual Enrollment), had the student met all HOPE Grant requirements.”

Note: Coursework taken by an N1 student attending a TCSG College in a diploma or certificate level program of study will be automatically included in the Grant GPA calculation.


Banner Form: ZRACTRL – GSFC Control Form (Version 12.2)

GSFC Control Form: Stores and displays the term and dates the college will roll grades to academic history. Automated email notifications associated with Grant GPA processing are sent to the contacts reflected on ZRACTRL.

Grades Processing Date – On the date entered for the term, the HOPE Grant GPA process will pick up all courses and grades for HOPE and Zell Miller Grant students. The Grant GPA calculation will then include that term’s courses and grades. This date should be at least one day after grades are rolled to academic history for the term.

IMPORTANT Note: Grades Processing Date - If grades are not rolled to academic history on the date entered for the term, the college will not receive discrepancies for all of the term’s HOPE and Zell Miller Grant students. If a student does not have grades rolled to academic history for all courses for the term, the process will skip the student until he/she has grades for all courses for the term. Term dates must be entered for Grant GPA’s to be generated. This date can be changed prior to the date only. This date cannot be changed on or after the date.

Email information: Contacts will receive automated email notifications associated with Grant GPA processing.

Program name: ZRPHPRC Version: 12.0 Location: Jobsub

Description: ZRPHPRC is the Banner process that allows colleges to create a request list of students from their Banner system for the HOPE Grant GPA calculation. The list of students created by this process can be emailed to the USER. TCSG will extract the listing of students in the request file automatically on a daily basis (each morning) from each college’s Banner system. (There is no file export process.) Note: Beginning May 2012, this Banner process is no longer required. Please see below. ZRPHPRC is automated, however, the Banner process will remain enabled and may be used if requesting Grant GPA calculation information on students who do not meet the below criteria.

IMPORTANT: Beginning May2012, the following students are automatically extracted from each college’s Banner system and processed for the HOPE Grant GPA calculation:

All students with current or future term admissions application. (Note: Receipt of admissions application only, official admittance is not required for this process.)

All students with current or future term registration. All students with HOPE Grant awarded for the current or future aid year.

Students are extracted from college Banner systems at 9:00 p.m. daily and processed the next morning. Results are loaded back into college Banner systems at approximately 10:15 a.m.

The students in the request files will be matched with the most current academic history on file at TCSG (MIS data) and the most recent Paid Hour history on file from the Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC).


Program name: ZRPHPRC Version: 12.0 Location: Jobsub

(Continued)

One of the following actions will be performed:

1. Discrepant or missing information exists : Any discrepant or missing information errors on a student will prevent the calculation of the HOPE Grant GPA. Course details from terms where Grant Paid Hours and academic history match will be loaded into the requesting college’s Banner form ZRAGRNT – HOPE Grant GPA Inquiry tab. Detailed information on the discrepant/missing information errors (terms where Grant Paid Hours and academic history do not match) will be loaded into the requesting college’s Banner form ZRAGRNT- HOPE Grant GPA Update tab. Manual entry must be performed to resolve discrepant and/or missing information errors. (Manual updates will be automatically extracted from each college’s Banner system each morning.)

2. No discrepant or missing information exists : The HOPE Grant GPA, eligibility status, and all course details will be loaded into the requesting college’s Banner system. (Banner form ZRAGRNT – HOPE Grant GPA Inquiry tab).


Process: Enter ZRPHPRC from the Banner Main Menu. (Create a request list of students for the HOPE Grant GPA calculation.)

Program name: ZRRHDSC – HOPE Grant GPA Discrepancies Version: 12.1 Location: Jobsub

Description: ZRRHDSC, HOPE Grant GPA Discrepancies, is the Banner process that creates a report of students (in college name, student name, or student ID order) with missing (Reason: ‘No course data found’) or discrepant (Reason: ‘Total Hours do not match’, or ‘Ineligible course status (KO, OA, OW, OF, OI, OM, OP, EX, AU, TR, AC)) course data. Students on this report will not have a Grant GPA calculated. The list of students created by this process can be emailed to the USER. Data entry into Banner form ZRAGRNT (2nd tab) or Paid Hour adjustments in Surfer will be necessary to resolve any discrepant or missing information.

The students listed on the ZRRHDSC report are reflected on Banner form ZRAGRNT, under the ‘HOPE Grant GPA Update’ tab. Data entry to resolve errors must be performed in the bottom section of this tab.

Note: The academic course history used by the HOPE Grant GPA process is stored in the MIS database. Historically, the academic history (course grades) is updated for the term at the end of the next term. For example: 200901 grades would be updated as of the end of 200902. Any discrepancies between MIS data and actual Banner information will be due to the timing of changes made in Banner or unresolved MIS errors.

Any references to MIS in this document should be interpreted as referring to ‘academic history’ which includes course and grade details.


ZRRHDSC Process:

Enter ZRRHDSC from the Banner main menu. (Create a report of students with discrepant or missing information.)

The zrrhdsc_xxxxxx.lis report and zrrhdsc_xxxxxx.txt file are generated in the /u02/jobsub/PROD/gurjobs directory. The report and file are also emailed to the valid email address entered into Parameter 02.

This report and file may be created from any one of the following three (3) Print Mode options: (P) Population Selection

Click ‘Next’.6. The ‘Text Import Wizard – Step 3 of 3’ window will appear. Click ‘Finish’. The file will now open in Excel.


ZRRHDSC - Missing or Discrepant Data Reasons/Resolutions:

Total Hours do not match – The academic history data used by this process is the data stored in the MIS database compared to the total Grant Paid Hours in Surfer. Possible scenarios resulting in this message include:

o MIS hours are greater than Surfer hours for the term. Possible cause: Student did not receive HOPE for a course taken outside of major. Course registration

status code is not equal to KO, OA, OW, OF, OI, OM, OP, EX, AU, TR, or AC. Course not paid for by HOPE should be excluded from Grant GPA.

Resolution: Update Banner form, ZRAGRNT, (bottom of 2nd tab, HOPE Grant GPA Update section). Check ‘Exclude’ next to appropriate course.

o Surfer Paid Hours are greater than MIS hours for the term. Possible cause 1 : Overpayment of funds received by college possibly due to late schedule adjustment

for term and no corresponding HOPE Grant adjustment. Resolution: Surfer hours must be adjusted by the awarding college. (Return of funds.)

Possible cause 2 : Student’s HOPE tuition award, fee award, and book award are correct in Surfer, but the Paid Hours in Surfer are incorrect. This can occur if the ROAENRL FA Billing Hours are incorrect for the term which resulted in the incorrect hours being reported to GSFC for the term via the HOPE Invoicing automated process.

Resolution: ‘Data Correction Request Form’ available in Surfer must be submitted to GSFC. No monetary adjustments are needed, only Surfer Paid Hours for the term need to be updated.

Note: If the student is enrolled for more than full-time hours (13 or more through fall 2009 (200902) or 16 or more beginning winter 2009 (200903)) Surfer should reflect the actual hours paid for the term even though only 12 or 15 hours, depending on the term, will count toward the student’s Paid Hours Cap. If the student is enrolled in 20 hours, then Surfer needs to reflect 20 hours for the term.



No course data found - This error message will display if the student has Surfer Paid Hours for a term and no corresponding MIS hours (course history for term). Course details must be entered into Banner form, ZRAGRNT, (bottom of 2nd tab, HOPE Grant GPA Update section) to update Grant MIS data. Possible scenarios resulting in this message include:

o Possible cause 1 : Prior attendance at a USG college and HOPE Grant received from the USG College. (USG College information is not included in MIS collection.)

Resolution: Update Banner form, ZRAGRNT, (bottom of 2nd tab, HOPE Grant GPA Update section) with course(s) paid for by HOPE Grant.

o Possible cause 2 : Prior attendance at a TCSG college and HOPE Grant received from the college but no MIS data exists. This can occur if the awarding college had an unresolved MIS error which prevented the student’s enrollment from being collected for the term.

Resolution: Update Banner form, ZRAGRNT, (bottom of 2nd tab, HOPE Grant GPA Update section) with course(s) paid for by HOPE Grant.

o Possible cause 3 : Student received HOPE Book payment only for the term. No coursework with a grade exists for the term.

Resolution: Update Banner form, ZRAGRNT, (bottom of 2nd tab, HOPE Grant GPA Update section) with course(s) that the HOPE Grant Book award was based on for the term. You must enter the course(s) into ZRAGRNT using grade ‘NA’.

o Possible cause 4 : Student received HOPE Grant for the term, dropped all courses, and coursework does not appear on academic transcript. Prior to summer quarter 2008 (Banner term 200901) colleges were not required to use standardized course registration status codes. Some scenarios may exist where dropped course(s) paid for by HOPE Grant do not appear on the academic transcript. Data Policy 948/948B, effective summer 2008 (200901) and fall 2012 (2012012) respectively, provided standard course registration status codes. (Also referred to as EPIC Guidelines.)

Resolution: Update Banner form, ZRAGRNT, (bottom of 2nd tab, HOPE Grant GPA Update section) with course(s) paid for by HOPE Grant. You must enter the course(s) into ZRAGRNT using grade ‘NA’.

NOTE: When entering/updating Learning Support course data into Banner form ZRAGRNT to resolve discrepancies due to ‘No course data found’, DO NOT check the ‘Exclude’ box. When entering the course details for a Learning Support course, enter one of the following grades: A*, B*, C*, D*, F*, I*, W*, WP*, WF*, S, U, NG*, or NA*. The grade will identify the course as a Learning Support class (grades with an asterisk, Satisfactory, or Unsatisfactory).



Ineligible course status (KO, OA, OW, OF, OI, OM, OP, EX, AU, TR, or AC) – The student’s GSFC Paid Hours agree with the total registered hours for the term. The discrepancy exists because a course for that term has a registration status code of ‘KO’, ‘OA’, ‘OW’, ‘OF’, ‘OI’, ‘OM’, or ‘OP’ or a grade of ‘EX’, ‘AU’, ‘TR’, or ‘AC’ (ineligible HOPE Grant statuses) AND the discrepancy will continue to exist even if the ineligible course is ‘Excluded’.

Example: Student has 13 Paid Hours for a term. Student’s courses for the term are: ENG 101 A 5 BIO 101 A 5 KO SCT 100 C 3

One of the courses has an ineligible course registration status. (Course Status field under the ‘HOPE Grant GPA Update’ tab of ZRAGRNT will display the one of the following if exists: KO, OA, OW, OF, OI, OM, OP, EX, AU, TR, or AC)

Resolution: Contact the college where the student received HOPE Grant for the term.

With the ‘KO’ course excluded in the above example, there will continue to be a discrepancy for the term that must be resolved. In this example BIO 101 is coded with ‘KO’, therefore, you exclude that course, then only 8 HOPE eligible hours remain for the term (ENG 101 and SCT 100). However, the student was paid for 13 hours. The discrepancy is not resolved simply by excluding the ineligible course. The awarding college may need to return funds to GSFC to resolve the discrepancy.

Note: If it is determined that the course was coded incorrectly with one of the statuses above (KO, OA, OW, OF, OI, OM, OP, EX, AU, TR, or AC) you may update the ‘Course Status’ field to ‘RE’. The ‘Course Status’ field may be updated only if it reflects one of these status codes. This field will not allow updates if NULL. By updating this field, you are indicating that the course was incorrectly coded with an ineligible status.


ZRRHDSC Output:

The ZRRHDSC_xxxxxx.lis report and ZRRHDSC_xxxxxx.txt file are generated in the /u02/jobsub/PROD/gurjobs directory. The report and file are also emailed to the valid email address entered into Parameter 02.

Program name: ZRRHGPA Version: 13.3 Location: Jobsub

Description: ZRRHGPA is the Banner process that allows colleges to create a report of students from their Banner system that will display the HOPE Grant GPA, course detail, and eligibility status. The report created by this process can be emailed to the USER.

Process: Enter ZRRHGPA from the Banner Main Menu.

The ZRRHGPA HOPE Grant Summary Report may be created using multiple term codes (Parameter 02) and/or multiple run modes (Parameter 03).

This report may be created from any of the following five (5) Run Mode options: (P) Population Selection

(A) Admission - New Applicants /Re-Admits for a term (R) Registered - Students that are or were registered for the term(F) Financial Aid – Students with HOPE Grant awarded for the Aid Year entered in Parameter 01(C) Checkpoint- Students with checkpoint eligibility determined at the end of the term(s) entered in Parameter 02(S) Student ID – Single student

You can choose one Run Mode option or multiple Run Mode options. This process will support any combination.


ZRRHGPA Parameters:

01 Aid Year Code Required Current Aid Year Code – example 1516

02 Term code Required if Parameter 03 = A, R, C

(Note: Term code must exist in aid year in Parameter 01, else the following results: “Number of Students: 0”.)

For Run Mode (Parameter 03) = A (Admissions), R (Registered), or C (Checkpoint Term) enter the Term Code (example: 201212). This parameter allows you to select more than one Term Code. You must select ‘Record’ ‘Insert’ to insert a new line for Parameter 02. See page 7 of this document for additional instructions.

Note: Term code is required for all run modes, but is used for run modes: A, R, and C only.

03 Run Mode Required.

Valid Values: P, A, R, F, C, S

P - Population Selection. A- Admissions, R – Registration, F – Financial Aid (F – All students with HOPE Grant awarded for aid year), C- Checkpoint (C-All students with eligibility determined at end of term(s)), S – Single ID (S – Single student). This parameter allows you to select more than one option for your student requests. For more than one option, you must select ‘Record’ ‘Insert’ to insert a new line for Parameter 03. See page 7 of this document for additional instructions.

04 Application Required if Parameter 03 = P For Run Mode (Parameter 03) = P (Population Selection), enter the Application for the Population Selection – example FINAID

05 Selection ID Required if Parameter 03 = P For Run Mode (Parameter 03) = P (Population Selection), enter the Selection ID (Name of the Population Selection)

06 Creator ID Required if Parameter 03 = P For Run Mode (Parameter 03) = P (Population Selection), enter the Creator ID of the Population Selection

07 User ID Required if Parameter 03 = P For Run Mode (Parameter 03) = P (Population Selection), enter the User ID of the Population Selection

08 Email Address Not Required, but Recommended Enter User Name for the output report to be emailed. Only a valid college issued email address user name will process. Example – If Johnnie Smith at Albany Tech is running this process and his email address is [email protected], then Johnnie would enter jsmith for Parameter 08.

09 Student ID Required if Parameter 03 = S For Run Mode (Parameter 03) = S (Student ID), enter the student’s ID number. (Example: 900012345)

10 Report Type Required.

Valid Values: S, D

S – Summary Mode (GPA) – provides the last checkpoint and current eligibility status for student(s). D – Detail Mode (GPA and Courses) – provides the last checkpoint, current eligibility status, and course details for student(s).

HOPE Grant GPA Checkpoints and Calculation Details:

Quarter to Semester Hour Conversion:

All TCSG coursework prior to fall semester 2012 (201212) was offered as quarter hours. Summer quarter 2012 (Banner term code 201201) was the last term offered under the TCSG quarter system.

The conversion formula applied to coursework for the HOPE Grant GPA is outlined below.

Sum all quarter hours Sum all quarter hour quality points Sum all semester hours Sum all semester hour quality points Convert quarters to semesters by dividing the total quarter hours and quality points by 1.5. Do not round,

truncate after two decimal places (the hundredth decimal point). Add the resulting credit hours and quality points from the conversion to the total of the semester hour credits

and quality points (if any exist). GPA: Divide the total quality points by the total credit hours. Do not round, truncate after two decimal places

(the hundredth decimal point). Result equals HOPE Grant GPA.

HOPE Grant Rules and Population Selection Examples:

HOPE Grant Fund Awarding and/or Fund Disbursement Rules suggestion:

ZRVHGPA (view) pulls the latest Grant Tier Code from Banner form ZRAGRNT based on the current term code entered on ROAINST. View is aid year specific.

ZRVHGPA_TIER_CODE LIKE ‘G%’ and ZRVHGPA_AIDY_CODE = ‘&aid_year_code’ identifies eligible students.

View will prevent Grant awards for terms where eligibility cannot be determined due to an existing discrepancy.

This view will also prevent disbursements for a term where discrepancies exist and no tier code based the ROAINST current term exists.

For example: Student’s status was G1 at the end of fall semester. Student received HOPE Grant Spring Semester. At the end of Spring Semester the student has an unresolved discrepancy. Since a discrepancy exists on spring semester coursework, the student’s eligibility for Grant for the next summer semester is undetermined. The student should not receive a summer Grant disbursement until the spring discrepancy is resolved. The ZRVHGPA view will prevent the summer payment when ROAINST is set to summer semester and will allow the spring disbursement when ROAINST is set to spring semester.

Population Selection Examples:HOPE_GRANT_GPA_ELIG: Population Selection of students whose latest HOPE Grant GPA Tier Code based on ROAINST Current Term is an eligible status.



HOPE_GRANT_GPA_INELIG: Population Selection of students whose latest HOPE Grant GPA Tier Code based on ROAINST Current Term is an ineligible status.
