General Title IV Eligibility Requirements
General Title IV Eligibility Requirements specify the general eligibility requirements that all students must meet to be considered eligible for Title IV funds.
Overview
Student Financial Planning determines if the student and the student's program meet general Title IV eligibility requirements in accordance with the U.S. Department of Education. Student Financial Planning automatically determines the student's Federal Student Aid (FSA) eligibility by evaluating the student's Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR), National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) record, the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) file, and the Student Academic and Financial Information (SAFI) message. If the student meets all of the General Title IV eligibility requirements, the student is eligible to receive Title IV funds and is packaged. If the student does not meet one or more of the general Title IV requirements, the student is not eligible to receive Title IV funds and is packaged with non-federal funds only.
