The U.S. Department of Education has established regulations to prevent fraud and abuse in the Federal Pell Grant Program by identifying students with unusual enrollment histories. If your FAFSA is flagged for Unusual Enrollment History (UEH), you will see a comment code (C code) on your FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS). Baker College is unable to disburse Title IV funds to students with a UEH C code until the issue is resolved according to the guidelines set by the Department of Education.
If you have been notified by Baker College that your FAFSA has a C code related to Unusual Enrollment History, the following steps are required to determine your eligibility for financial aid:
2024-2025 Financial Aid Recipients

- Complete the 2024-2025 Unusual Enrollment History Form with all required documentation by the deadline for the semester in which you are trying to receive financial aid funds.
