Subject: COD Common Record XML Schema Version 3.0c Now Available
During the period March 26-28, 2010, we plan to implement Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System functionality that will support the processing of Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant), National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant, and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) awards for the 2010-2011 Award Year. In conjunction with this implementation, we will begin using a new version of the COD Common Record Extensible Markup Language (XML) Schema. The new schema version is 3.0c.
Effective upon completion of the March 26-28, 2010 COD System implementation--
All 2010-2011 Common Record documents must be sent by schools and will be acknowledged by the COD System using COD Common Record XML Schema Version 3.0c.
All 2010-2011 unsolicited system-generated responses will be sent by the COD System using COD Common Record XML Schema Version 3.0c.
COD Web Activity responses for all award years will be sent by the COD System using COD Common Record XML Schema Version 3.0c.
All available school reports, including data requests, will continue to be sent in formats other than XML.
For complete information about the new schema version, refer to "COD Common Record XML Schema Version 3.0c."
