Electronic Commonwealth Assistance Notice

Topics include:

Overview

The Electronic Commonwealth Assistance Notice (eCAN) is web based functionality which enables students to view their Commonwealth Assistance Notice (CAN) online. The eCAN provides the same information as the hardcopy CAN. It can be configured to display in either PDF or HTML format by selecting from the Self Serve Delivery Type field (WEB for html or PDF for PDF) in SSFF1100 (Maintain Self Serve Applications). The eCAN extracts the required information from Callista extract tables ('s_extract' and 's_extract_record' which are populated by running FINJ6200 - Commonwealth Assistance Notice Extract) and presents it electronically via Callista Connect. The most recent CAN extract records are used to generate the eCAN. If no records exist from which to generate an eCAN, the message 'No Commonwealth Assistance details could be found' is displayed. The following information is displayed in the eCAN:

The eCAN is accessed from the Student Connect menu.

To access eCAN, only cohorts with a rule type of COHORTPRSN (Cohort-Person) may be used.

The eCAN application will be unavailable if a Cohort Process Window is not specified.
