2023-2024 Unusual Enrollment History Appeal Form

The U.S. Department of Education has established regulations to prevent fraud and abuse of Federal student aid. Students who have received funding through the Federal Pell grant program may be identified with unusual enrollment history. Students may have legitimate reasons for an unusual enrollment history; however, an unusual enrollment history requires a review. The Student Financial Aid Office will review submitted documentation to determine if the unusual enrollment history reasons are valid. Unusual Enrollment History Appeal Form (pdf 169 KB)
