Applicability All University units
Responsible Office Office of the Provost
Responsible Administrator Director of Student Financial Aid (SFA) and Scholarships
  1. Policy Statement and Purpose

    Ensure Title IV funds are being awarded/disbursed in accordance with federal regulations governing enrollment status eligibility. This is a policy about the effect of enrollment status and retaking coursework provisions and limitations on financial aid.

  2. Policy

    You may count toward enrollment status and award Title IV funds to a student who is repeating, for the first time only (i.e. one repetition per class), a previously passed course in a term-based program. Students enrolled in a non-term-based programs may not receive credit for retaking coursework. For this purpose, passed means any grade higher than an “F,” regardless of any school or program policy requiring a higher qualitative grade or measurement to have been considered to have passed the course.

    A student may be repeatedly paid for repeatedly failing the same course (normal Satisfactory Academic Progress policy still applies to such cases). However, if a student passes a class once and then is repaid for retaking it and fails the second time, that failure counts as their paid retake and the student may not be paid for retaking the class a third time.
