4. Two Approaches: XAP Application vs Self-Service BOGW

5. 5 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

6. 6 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

7. 7 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

8. 8 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

9. 9 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

10. 10 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
