TASFAA 2018 Honoring the Past and Building the Future To Pay or Not to Pay TIV 1 TASFAA 2018 Honoring the Past and Building the Future AGENDA CPOS Regulations Campus Leadership Awareness Implementation Communication Questions/Comments 2 Regular Course Program of Study 34 CFR 668.32 : A student is eligible to receive Title IV, HEA program assistance if the student either meets all of the requirements in paragraphs (a) through (m) of this section. If a student is enrolled in courses that do not count toward his degree, certificate, or other recognized credential, they cannot be used to determine enrollment status unless they are eligible as remedial courses. This means you cannot award the student aid for classes that do not count toward his degree. The Federal Student Aid Handbook, Volume 1, Chapter 1 3 Federal Title IV – applies to all federal aid programs TSAC – CPOS does not apply.

If admission to the “pre-program” does NOT guarantee admission to the actual or formal program, then the “pre-program” is not considered an eligible program. This guidance does not preclude the requirement that, to be eligible, a student must be enrolled as a regular student in an eligible program. 6 Pre-Majors or Pre-Programs How Did We Get Here?
