U.S. Department of Education Unusual Enrollment History Regulation (GEN-13-09)

Academic Credit Not Earned – if the student did not earn academic credit at a previously attended institution and, if applicable, at the institution performing the review, the intuition must obtain documentation from the student explaining why the student failed to earn academic credit. The institution must determine whether the documentation supports (1) the reasons given by the student for the student’s failure to earn academic credit; and (2) that the student did not enroll only to receive credit balance funds.

Reasons could include illness, family emergency, change in students living arrangement, and military obligations. The institution should, to the extent possible, obtain third party documentation to support the student’s claim. The financial aid administrator may choose to require the student to establish an academic plan, similar to the type of plan used to resolve satisfactory academic progress appeals.

If the student did not earn academic credit at one or more of the relevant institutions and does not provide acceptable explanation and documentation for each of those failures, the institution must deny the student any additional title IV program assistance.

If the institution denies a student continued title IV program assistance, it must provide the student with information as to how the student may subsequently regain title IV program eligibility. Since the basis for the denial is the student’s academic performance, it is expected that successful completion of academic credit would form the basis for the student’s subsequent request for renewal of title IV eligibility. This could include meeting the requirements of an academic plan that the institution established with the student.
