Starting in fall 2019, undergraduate students who have completed all their degree requirements but have not had the degree awarded will not be able to receive any further federal student aid (FSA) funds for that program. This has been long-standing federal stipulation but we have not had the ability to enforce it until now. This process will be limited to undergraduate students at the Twin Cities and Rochester campuses. Based on historical data, it will impact fewer than 100 students per year. An appeal process will be available for students with extenuating circumstances.
We anticipate sending further communications about this change prior to its initiation in fall 2019. State and institutional aid will continue to follow regulations.
*Correction: This story previously stated students would not be able to receive any further flexible spending arrangement (FSA) funds, but that was incorrect. It should have been federal student aid (FSA).
