Financial Aid Students are required to
Establish attendance in each course
Stay in class Maintain satisfactory
academic progress
To preserve the right to distribute federal student aid, the College
must Demonstrate that each financial aid
recipient attended each class at least once
Capture a Last Date of Attendance for Fs and Xs
Calculate earned vs. unearned financial aid when a student withdraws or stops attending all classes
Monitor and take action when an FA recipient does not meet our satisfactory academic progress policy
Meet Samantha

Dec 15 Instructor #2 reporter her LDA Sept 2
Dec 15 Instructor #3 reported her LDA Sept 11
Dec 15 Instructor #4 reported her LDA Sept 28
Dec 18 The College called Samantha who said she never attended any classes and assumed the “reward” check could be used for expenses until she re-enrolled. She’d spent the $4,975.

ATTENDANCE =participation in an academically-related activity
In other words…
Go
Handout from the ProvostAttendance and Return of Title IV
Federal Financial Aid Funds
• How the U.S. Department of Education views class attendance for Title IV purposes
• How the College proves attendance for Title IV purposes
• How the U.S. Department of Education defines attendance in an academically-related activity for Title IV purposes
• How the Financial Aid Office calculates and treats earned and unearned Title IV funds
Satisfactory Academic Progress
To continue to receive funding, College financial aid recipients
must Maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative
grade point average Pass 67% of the credit hours they
attempt Complete their program of study
within 150% of the length of the program
Note: There is a limited appeal process when mitigating circumstances prevent satisfactory progress.
Return to Title IV--
the Feds Want their
DUE
An FA award is a contract to
complete course work—if the
student doesn’t fulfill it, money is
owed back.
R2T4A Cautionary Tale
For want of a nail… A Mythical Community College wrote off more
than $400,000 in federal aid in one year This was the result of attendance not being
reported in a timely manner The aid had been awarded then had to be
returned to the federal programs because students didn’t “earn” it (didn’t attend or stopped attending)
AMCC paid the Feds then had to try to collect back from students—they got all but the $400K
TAKE AWAYS
Financial Aid is essential to the College and its students ($10,000,000+ and growing)
Financial Aid is big and complicated
Our Financial Aid operation is now compliant and successful
Everyone plays a critical part in ensuring continued funding : Students go to class and make progress Faculty keep required records Administrators interpret the regulations
and ensure compliance Staff process financial aid and inform
students
We’re All In This Together!
As part of ourTitle IV Federal Student Aid Participation Agreement, the College must “…communicate to the individual designated to be responsible for administering Title IV programs, all the information received by any institutional office that bears on a student's eligibility for Title IV, HEA program assistance. “
