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 previous award years. If students have received Pell grants and/or loans from multiple institutions throughout the previous four academic years, they may be flagged for review by the Rochester University Student Financial Services office. Rochester University 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.
