• If less than 100% eligibility remaining, handle

award like a transfer student • Pay up to full amount allowed in first payment

attending multiple institutions over a period of time where

they stay long enough to receive title IV credit balance

funds but then leave without completing the enrollment

period

Review Pell Grant disbursements over last 3 completed

award years

Depending on codes (N, 2, or 3) school may have to review

data to determine if valid reasons exist for student‟s

unusual enrollment history

13

NSLDS will add edits to identify records with unusual

enrollment histories and set a new NSLDS Unusual

Enrollment History Flag

• Pre-Screening - Unusual Enrollment History Flag:

2013-2014 - Unusual Enrollment History

Five flag values (N, Blank and 1- 3)

N Enrollment pattern not unusual (No school action required)

No N/A

15

GEN-13-09 - Unusual Enrollment History

UEH Flag value is „N‟: No action is necessary

• UEH Flag value is „2‟: Must review student‟s

enrollment and financial aid records to determine if,

during the 3 award year review period (10/11,11/12,

12/13), student received a Pell Grant at the institution

that is performing the review

• If so, no additional action is required unless reason to

believe student is one who remains enrolled just long

enough to collect student aid funds. In this case, must

follow guidance provided for a UEH Flag of „3‟.

• If not, must follow guidance provided for a UEH Flag of „3‟

16


• UEH Flag value is „3‟: Review student‟s academic

records to determine if student received academic

credit at institutions student attended during the 3

award year period (10/11,11/12,12/13).

• Identify institutions where the student received Pell Grant

funding over the past three award years through NSLDS

• Must determine (through transcripts or grade reports), for each

of the previously attended institutions, whether academic credit

was earned during the award year in which the student

received Pell funds

Academic credit is considered earned if academic records

show student completed any credit hours or clock hours.

17


• UEH Flag value is „3‟:

• Academic Credit Earned: If determined student earned

any academic credit at each of the previously attended

institutions during the relevant award years, no further

action is required unless institution has other reasons to

believe student enrolls just to receive credit balances

• If it is determined that academic credit was NOT earned

at one or more of the previously attended institutions OR

the school had reasons to believe student just enrolls for

TIV funds, the institution must follow the “Academic

Credit Not Earned” guidance

Federal Update



GEN-13-09 - Unusual Enrollment History • UEH Flag value is „3‟:

• Academic Credit NOT Earned: If student did not earn

academic credit at a previously attended institution,

including current school, must obtain documentation from

student explaining why failed to earn academic credit

• Must determine whether the documentation supports

• (1) the reasons given by the student for the student‟s failure

to earn academic credit; and

• (2) student did not enroll only to receive credit balance funds

• Institutional determinations are final and not appealable to

the Department, and reasons for the decision must be

documented and maintained for possible review

19


• Approval of Continued Eligibility

• If school approves student‟s continued eligibility, may:

• Require student to establish academic plan, like (SAP),

• Counsel student about the impact of the student‟s

attendance pattern on future Pell Grant eligibility

• Denial of Continued Eligibility

• If a student did not earn academic credit and does not

provide acceptable explanation and documentation,

school must deny student any additional title IV

• Student must be provided an opportunity to question and

appeal decision, similar to SAP appeals

20


• Regaining Aid Eligibility

• Provide student information on how to regain title IV eligibility.

• expected that successful completion of academic credit

would form the basis for the student‟s subsequent request for

renewal of title IV eligibility

• could include meeting requirements of an academic plan

• Authority

• 484(a)(4)(A) of the Higher Education Act of 1965

• requires the student to sign a Statement of Educational Purpose

• by signing Statement of Educational Purpose (on FAFSA), student

certified would use title IV aid only to meet educational costs

Non-Institutionally Owned Bookstores

Institution may credit a student‟s account with

Title IV, HEA funds to pay for educationally related

goods and services purchased by the student at a

bookstore as long as:

(1) Institution has a written contract or other

legal agreement with the entity operating the

bookstore under which the student is able to

charge educationally related goods and

services, and

authorization

extension of the policy we established for
