Unusual Enrollment History

Summary

Learn more about what documentation you are required to submit if you are flagged for unusual enrollment.

Body

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. Students are being notified by the Department of Education that their FAFSA is flagged for Unusual Enrollment History with a comment code (C code) on their 24-25 FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS). Baker College cannot pay Title IV funds to students with Unusual Enrollment History C codes until there is adequate resolution outlined by the Department of Education.

If you have received a notice from Baker College that you have a C code related to Unusual Enrollment History, the following items are needed to determine your financial aid eligibility.

  • Log into studentaid.gov, using your FSA ID to determine the schools you received Pell Grant and/or Federal Direct Loan funds at during the 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 academic years.
  • 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.

Please note that if you did not earn at least one academic credit/clock hour at every institution you attended and received Pell Grant funds, you will be required to:

  • Submit an explanation of the special circumstance that caused you to not earn credit/clock hours.
  • Submit documentation to support your explanation.
The deadlines* are as follows:
  • Fall 2024: September 27, 2024

*Please note that you will have seven days from the date of notification or up to the deadline date (whichever comes later) to submit all of the required information requested to resolve your unusual enrollment history flag.

Baker College will review your Unusual Enrollment History Form and communicate with you on your eligibility to receive financial aid funding.  If your financial aid funding is reinstated, you will receive additional information from Baker College about the status of your FAFSA application.
