Policy and Procedure Statement

Census Rosters

Census Roster Processing Faculty are given one week by Registrar's to certify rosters. Once the roster is certified, the attendance information is written into a custom table. The specific courses where attendance has been confirmed are also written into our Applicant Comments screen.

Applicant Comments (RHACOMM) This notation allows customer service staff to identify the courses where attendance has been confirmed.

Applicant Requirements Screen (RRAAREQ) Identifies the student as having a potential adjustment due to non-attendance.

Non Attendance Lists Two reports generated –Students with Pell, TEACH or IASG who have at least one course where the attendance has not been verified (did not begin attendance in all courses) –Students that have any Title IV aid and have all courses with attendance not verified (failure to attend)

Non Attendance Processing The financial aid frozen hours will be updated to reflect the hours for which the student began attendance.

Non Attendance Processing Pell, TEACH and IASG awards will be recalculated using the new enrollment status. Cost of attendance will be recalculated using the new enrollment status. For students that were failure to attend (did not begin any courses), all aid will be removed from the student’s account.

Student Notification

Withdrawals - 1 st Class day through Census To verify that students began attendance prior to the census date, we contact faculty.

Enrollment Status Registrar’s will drop students from courses where the student was not certified as attending. Drop will be backdated prior to the 1 st class day. Updated enrollment status will be reported to NSLDS.
