July 13 to July 17, 2026 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

Conferences weren't showing for the test student created when you used the View course as a student feature. This wasn't a bug; we just hadn't yet added that to the feature.

To the API's /personbalances call, we added an as_of_date parameter.

Several fields have been added to financial aid applications so we can continue to communicate with COD after the imminent 2026-2027 aid year updates, including:

• Enrollment Intensity for Direct Loans
• HPPA Indicator (Additional Unsubsidized Loan Health Professionals)
• Enrollment Status Effective Date

On donation reciept layouts, we broke up the soft_donor.name variable into several variables for the name's constituent parts. Which is a wearying way to say you can now just use, say, soft_donor.name.first.

Bugfixes

The last course shown on a page in a transcript's term table would display in the proof but not in the exported document (this only affected the built-in default layout).

When editing course meeting times, there were inconsistencies in how different timezones were being displayed.

The profile-merger needed to do a better job preserving the loser's course progress.
