Unusual Enrollment History
The U.S. Department of Education will select students with an unusual enrollment history in cases where the student received Federal Pell Grants at multiple institutions in recent years.
The student’s FAFSA will show any unusual enrollment history. This means the Financial Aid Office has to check if the student signed up for classes just to get financial aid funds. If the student got a Pell Grant but didn’t earn any credits at different schools during recent award years, they might not be allowed to get financial aid anymore.
If this happens, the student can write an appeal to explain why they didn’t earn credits at those schools. They also have to send official transcripts from every prior institution attended, even if they are not required for admission. The Financial Aid Office will look at everything and decide if the student can follow a special academic plan and still get financial aid, or if the aid will be denied.
