Unusual Enrollment History

In an effort to prevent fraud and abuse in the Federal Pell Grant and Loan Programs, the Department of Education has established regulations to identify students with unusual enrollment histories. When students complete their FAFSA each award year, the department will review the students’ academic records for the four previous award years. If students have received Pell grants and/or loans from three institutions in a span of one to two years, they will be flagged for review by the Rochester College Student Financial Services office. Rochester College is required to review the students’ academic records and will determine whether students have not met requirements to be eligible for Title IV aid based on their unusual enrollment history. For additional information, please see the Student Financial Services office.
