The Financial Aid Office of the Maine College of Health Professions has adopted this enrollment verification protocol to assure a student’s initial enrollment and continued enrollment for registered classes are accurate. As part of the financial aid process, some financial aid (Pell Grant, State of Maine Grant Program) is based partly on the number of student hours and student status – less than ½ time, ½ time (at least 6 credit hours), ¾ time (9 credits-11 credits), or full time (12 credits or more). Full-Time enrollment is based on 24 credits per year.
At the start of each semester, the Registrar's Office performs enrollment verification on each student and provides a report listing the number of credits each student is enrolled in for that semester. The Financial Aid Specialist then verifies every aided student’s enrollment to ensure the aid awarded corresponds with the number of credits for which the student is enrolled. If the student is enrolled for a different number of credit hours than indicated and they are receiving aid, an adjustment may be necessary.
Once the enrollment is verified with the Registrar’s Office, the Financial Aid Specialist will log into NSLDS (National Student Loan Data System) to report the enrollment for the semester and certify this enrollment. This process will be repeated every 28 calendar days to ensure the enrollment reporting is done on a regular and timely basis.
