...

  • :

    • If the abbreviated period is greater than one payment period, the entire Pell eligible award is scheduled within the abbreviated period with two disbursement dates to match the disbursement schedule of a typical student.  Prior to each disbursement, units and week progression, attendance in the Pell payment period is required to be reviewed.  If one of these is not met, the disbursement date is required to be rescheduled.

    • If the abbreviated period is less than or equal to one payment period, half of the Pell eligible award is scheduled within the abbreviated period with a single disbursement date to match the disbursement schedule of a typical student.  The second disbursement (other half) of the Pell eligible award is scheduled into the Academic Year following the abbreviated period with a single disbursement date to match the midpoint of a typical Academic Year (i.e. 36 week AY; 2nd disbursement would be scheduled after completion of 18 weeks).  Prior to each disbursement, units and week progression, attendance in the Pell payment period are required to be reviewed.  If one of these is not met, the disbursement date is required to be rescheduled.

    • The student’s ‘Need’ will need to be assessed at the time of creating the abbreviated period and if Pell changes.
