[Oasfaa] Module Style Courses

Wed Mar 9 15:09:39 CST 2022

Good Afternoon!

OBU has historically only had traditional 16-week courses for our undergraduate degree programs. We have recently branched into a few module-style 8-week courses where students take one course the first eight weeks and a second course the second eight weeks. Currently, all students are also enrolled in at least one 16-week course that extends the full-term so that simplifies things a little bit. However, I am concerned about instances where a student might be enrolled in 12 hours - we freeze aid at census date and pay aid for full-time coursework, then the student failing to begin attendance in the second eight-week course. In this instance, the student would have only BEGAN attendance for nine hours and, therefore, would require a return of Pell mid-semester.

We are curious how other schools handle this - how do you communicate to students that their aid is dependent on attendance in the second course, how do you monitor this, do you essentially have a second census date after the start of the second eight-week course? What else do I need to know? As I understand it, our faculty are being encouraged to create MORE module-style courses like this. So, it is going to become a larger issue for us and something I want to be ahead of.

Any and all help is appreciated!

According to Q&A #39 in the May 11, 2021 Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) III Frequently Asked Questions, schools have one year from the date their most recent grant obligation was processed by ED to spend all of their HEERF funds, including funds from prior rounds of funding from HEERF I and HEERF II.
