不出席(FN)政策失败
目的
The purpose of this policy is to comply with federal regulations regarding Title IV Financial 援助 disbursement ensuring student attendance. The 不出席(FN) grade serves to ensure appropriate adjustments to student financial aid award by verifying enrollment status and allowing recalculation prior to fund disbursement. The FN grade also serves as 不ification to Student Services that the student’s academic success is at risk; intervention is warranted.
The College is required to return funds disbursed to students who fail to begin attendance as soon as possible but no later than 30 days after the date that the school becomes aware that a student has 不 begun. If a payment is made to a student who is later found 不 to be in attendance, it is considered an over payment and the college is liable for that payment and returning those funds.
