[Oasfaa] Loan question

[Schmerer, Mendy M. (HSC)]

In Volume 3, Chapter 1, page 18, check out the “special rule” in regard to your cohort default rate and the way your academic periods are structured.  In that first sentence, it does address what you may do, but again, it depends on the term structure.

Even if you can do it, how does she intend to pay for the rest of the year?  We all know the “I’ll figure that out later” response isn’t good enough!  I’d be pretty hesitant to allow her to do this too.

Subject: [Oasfaa] Loan question

I have a student who owes a large fall balance. She has requested to use her full Stafford Elig for fall only. I've explained the ramifications of doing that (no loan elig for remainder of year) but since she is not graduating in December, technically, she can do that, right? We don't do this normally, but if I say no, am I denying her funds for which she has requested and is eligible?

Thanks in advance for your help. Come on Thanksgiving break!
