Protecting Student Enrollment Status During Federal Government Shutdowns
This bill aims to protect students relying on federal financial aid. If aid payments are disrupted due to a government shutdown (lapse in appropriations), colleges cannot terminate or alter the student's enrollment status. This ensures educational continuity for students during federal budget crises, preventing them from being dropped from school.
Key points
Colleges cannot drop students if their federal financial aid is delayed because of a government shutdown.
The protection applies to students receiving aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act.
