Re-Originating Pell Funds After an ISIR Update and Adding to a Disbursement Batch

Overview

When a student's Pell award is zeroed out due to an ineligible ISIR, and a corrected ISIR is subsequently received, the Pell award must be re-originated and added to a disbursement batch before funds can be released. This article explains how to submit that request to the CI Financial Aid Team.

When This Applies

• A student's Pell was zeroed because of an ineligible ISIR (e.g., missing information, conflicting data, or a verification failure).
• The student has since resolved the issue and a corrected or updated ISIR has been received in Campus Ivy.
• The school needs specific Pell payment periods (e.g., PP2 and PP3) re-originated and added to a batch for disbursement.

How to Submit a Re-Origination Request

1. Confirm the updated ISIR is on file — Verify in Campus Ivy that the corrected ISIR has been received and that the student's eligibility is now confirmed.
2. Submit a ticket to the CI Financial Aid Team with the following:
   • Student name and ID
   • Aid year (e.g., 2025-2026)
   • Payment periods to be re-originated (e.g., PP2, PP3)
   • Brief context explaining why Pell was originally zeroed
3. FA Processing Team re-originates the award — The CI FA Processing Team will update the Pell origination record and re-establish the award amounts in COD.
4. Refund Team adds the student to a batch — Once re-originated, the Portico Refund Team will add the student to an open disbursement batch. If a specific batch has already reached Complete status, the student will be placed on the next open batch.

Note on Last-Day-of-Loan Requirements

For schools that are no longer on HCM (Housing/Campus Management), a Last-Day-of-Loan (LDL) is not required for Pell re-originations. LDL is only required for Direct Loan disbursements. Confirm your school's current system setup if you are unsure whether an LDL applies.
