Pell Services

•  DJA provides an institution with electronic submission and receipt of all Pell ISIR records (e.g. ESARs, payment vouchers, and statement of accounts) thereby speeding up the turn around of funds. The institution can submit and receive its information either by fax, or e-mail. 

•  For even faster turn around, DJA offers EFAS Express.  Express allows an institution to not only receive its ISIR information via FTP transmission, but the Express software will also perform other tasks such as Electronic Needs analysis.  With EFAS, DJA will record disbursements, monitor authorization levels, perform ledger maintenance, do the yearly close-out and offer an approved method of need analysis.

Financial Services

•  DJA will generate the award letters, assist in developing student budgets, do the packaging of financial aid, review NSLDS (if applicable), and verify statements of compliance (e.g. default) prior to disbursement.

•  In addition, DJA provides for complete verification for those scheduled by the USDE (e.g. request the appropriate tax return, check for supporting documents and check for accuracy).

•  DJA also requests backup documentation to clear any "C-code" issues.

Fiscal Services

•  DJA handles the Pell Grant Year-to-Date and GAPS reporting.

•  Other fiscal services provided are cash request, check writing, posting voids & refunds and performing bank reconciliations.

•  If applicable, DJA is also equipped to assist the institution with Cash Reimbursement Services.

Loan Services

•  For the FFELP program, DJA verifies need and processes all loan applications.

•  For the Direct Loan program, DJA electronically transmits the application, determines loan eligibility, creates the loan origination record, and sends the record off electronically.  In addition, DJA processes the export and import acknowledgments, calls in the funds and writes the checks.  Further, DJA cross-checks the Direct Loan Monthly Reconciliation reports for accuracy.

Campus Based Services

•  DJA offers complete support for CWS, SEOG, Perkins, ACG, SMART, and TEACH.  Many time consuming tasks such as the FISAP report and completion of grids are performed by DJA.

Optional Title IV Services

•  NSLDS Processing -- The institution elects to have DJA log-on to NSLDS and obtain information in lieu of the institution requesting Financial Aid Transcripts.  DJA will also post Pell/SEOG Overpayments into the NSLDS system as required by the Return to Title IV regulations.

•  Return to Title IV Processing -- DJA will calculate refunds for the institution using the USDE RT24 software.  This optional service simplifies an often time consuming and confusing process.

•  Automatic ISIRS -- With this service, DJA receives all automatic ISIRs for students who completed the FAFSA on their own and list your school as a school they would be interested in attending.  We can send these automatic ISIRs to your school and you can then follow up with the student.  By listing your school, the student has taken an obvious interest.  If you can get only one student to start at your school, this service pays for itself for years.  We have many schools already employing this service and it has been extremely profitable for the institutions who utilize this information.
