MAPnet Enhancement Regarding Students at Two-Year Colleges
9/2/2008

The 2008-09 MAPnet system, which is used to administer awards for the Monetary Award Program (MAP) and the Silas Purnell Illinois Incentive for Access (IIA) Program, has been enhanced. The system now provides more information to assist two-year colleges identify students that have reached the maximum 75 MAP Paid Credit Hours at or below a grade level two (2). In addition, the system will automatically reject payment requests that are submitted on behalf of students attending two-year colleges who have previously reached the maximum 75 MAP Paid Credit Hours.

Identifying Impacted Records (Applies to Two-Year Colleges Only)

To assist schools in identifying students who have reached the 75 MAP Paid Credit Hour maximum, the following enhancements have been made to MAPnet:

1) A new Payment Result Code "V" has been added to indicate that, with the most recent payment, the student has reached 75 MAP Paid Credit Hours and is no longer eligible for MAP payment at or below grade level two (2).

The new "V" will appear:

  • On the MAP Payment Results Report and MAP Payment Exceptions Report in the Result Code column.
  • On the Payment Summary Results/Invoice Detail Report with the following language: V - With this payment, student attains 75 MAP Paid Credit Hours. Student no longer eligible for MAP payment at academic levels 1 and 2.
  • On the Student Detail: Payment Screen in the "Results" field.
2) The Student Detail: Eligibility screen now highlights (yellow field color) the MAP Paid Credit Hour field on student records with 75 or more MAP Paid Credit Hours.

Rejected Payment Requests (Applies to Two-Year Colleges Only)

To prevent payment for students with at least 75 MAP Paid Credit Hours attending two-year colleges, the MAP payment system will now reject payment requests for those students. The current Payment Result Code "F - Full MAP Paid Credit Hours already used" will be used for this rejection. This code is also used for students reaching the 135 MAP Paid Credit Hour maximum and will appear on the same reports and screens as it does currently.

Additional Changes (Applies to Two-Year Colleges Only)

Three MAPnet filter screens now include a checkbox in the "Ineligible" section for "MAP Paid Credit Hours >= 75." The new filter option appears on the following screens:

  • Student List Eligibility: Filter
  • Student List Payment: Filter
  • Submit Payment Requests
Further Information

Details regarding MAP Paid Credit Hours are available at the Tracking MAP Usage - MAP Paid Credit Hours (MPCH) page, which is located within the Monetary Award Program (MAP) section of the ISAC Gift Assistance Programs area at collegezone.com.
