The Financial Aid Item Type Request form should
be completed by the appropriate financial aid office when a new
Item Type is needed to award aid. Normally, a new Item Type is created
when a new fund code has been created. An Item Type is a PeopleSoft
term that links a description with a general ledger code and financial
aid rules. If a general ledger code is changing for an existing
Item Type, a new Item Type is not needed.
