Dept of Ed Guidance on Academic Interruptions due to Coronavirus

The Department of Education released guidance on 5 potential scenarios for academic interruptions due to the coronavirus and their impacts on Title IV financial aid:

• A student was enrolled or was supposed to begin a travel-abroad experience and either the student has been called back to the U.S. or was never able to begin the travel abroad experience;

• A student was enrolled in a program and met the requirements for full-time enrollment; however, due to the COVID-19, one or more classes – such as an internship, a clinical rotation, student teaching or fieldwork – have been cancelled and now the student has fallen below the 12 credit hour minimum and is no longer considered to be a full-time student;

• A student is quarantined and misses class or a student is incapacitated due to COVID-19 illness;

• A campus temporarily stops offering ground-based classes in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19;

• A foreign school that serves U.S. students who participate in title IV programs temporarily suspends operations due to COVID-19.
