The Financial Aid Lookup application allows you to view financial aid for a specified student.

Note :  In order to use this application, you must be utilizing PrismCore Accounts Receivable. In PrismCore Accounts Receivable, each accounting module must have its own WPServer and the PDA will be set up in each server, so accessing individual accounting module data will not be a problem.

How to Use Financial Aid Lookup

Touch the Application icon if you are in another application. Touch the Financial Aid icon.

Touch Configure to configure your login. For detailed information on how to configure your login, refer to the “Logging into an Application” section of this document.

Once you have configured your login, touch Financial Aid Lookup.

The Financial Aid Lookup screen will display and you will be prompted for the Student ID number.

Enter the student ID in the field below. You can scan the ID or manually enter it using the keyboard (kb) or Graffiti. Or, if you have a portable printer attached to the PDA, you can swipe the student ID card through the MSR reader attached to the portable printer.

Scanning a Student ID card

If you wish to scan the card using the MSR reader, you must select the “Scan” button at the bottom of the screen. Once “Scan” is selected, the screen will change to display “Student ID”. You must again touch the “Scan” button at the bottom of this second screen. When the PDA is ready for the card to be swiped, the message Swipe Card will display. If you want to abort the swiping of the card, touch “Abort”. 

If a valid Student ID number is entered, touch “Continue” to transmit it to PrismCore so that the course information for the student can be retrieved. When a valid Student ID is entered, whether manually, scanned or swiped, the course request information will display on the screen.

If no valid student ID is entered, touch “Continue” to return t the Course Lookup screen. “Cancel;” returns you to the screen where you can select between Student ID or item.
