Use of ModulesChanging Patterns in Education
• Short term and sequential course enrollment• Courses are often offered in modules (usually 1-8
weeks in length) • Programs with modules may -
– compose an entire program; or – be offered in conjunction with other full-term
length courses
![Page 5: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Use of ModulesChanging Patterns in Education
• Used in Standard and Non-Standard Term and Non-Term Settings
• Sometimes involve overlapping terms• Courses offered as modules may begin in
one term and end in another term• Enrollment can begin at beginning of any
module• Students may skip one or more modules
![Page 6: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Basics: Term
A term:
•Defined as a discrete period of time during which all courses are scheduled to begin and end
•Within a term: full-length courses, compressed courses or modules, and courses offered sequentially

![Page 7: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Standard Term: a semester or trimester (generally 14-17 weeks long) or a quarter (generally 10-12 weeks long)
• Non-standard Term: all coursework begins and ends within a set period, but it is not a semester, trimester, or quarter
7
Basics: Standard and Non-Standard Terms
![Page 8: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Basics: Non-Term
• Courses do not all begin and end within a discrete period of time and may:
- contain self-paced or independent study courses without fixed timeframes
- consist of sequential modules or courses that do not begin and end within a term
• Clock-hour programs are always non-term

![Page 9: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Other Title IV Factors• Definitions:
Academic year – 30 (credit hours) or 26 weeks (clock hours) of instructional time, and for undergraduates: 24 semester/trimester hours, 36 quarter credits, or 900 clock hours; for graduates, institutional minimum full-time standard
Full-time – greater than statutory minimum or adjusted for summer or intersession?

Modules - Operating Principles
• Schools may combine a series of modules into a single term
• Enrollment can begin at beginning of any module
• Students may skip one or more modules within the term
• Loan period includes entire term
![Page 11: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Modules - Operating Principles
• Up-front enrollment (registered courses) should support aid eligibility and award amount
• Cost of attendance excludes periods of non-attendance
• Student must begin attendance in all credits or recalculation required (except loans)
11
![Page 12: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Module - Operating Principles • For loans, student must commence
attendance or is ineligible borrower for entire term
• No disbursement can be scheduled during period of non-enrollment
• Earliest attendance dictates first disbursement; payment period begins with module that includes first date of attendance
12
![Page 13: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Modules - Operating Principles
Change in enrollment status to less-than-half-time results in cancellation of subsequent loan disbursements.

Modules - Operating Principles within a Standard Term or Substantially Equal Non-Standard Term of
at Least Nine Weeks
• Pell Formula 1 applies• Standard Term loan disbursement and annual
loan limit progression applies• Warning: Structure of modular terms can
transform standard term program into non-standard term module begin/end date must be within 2 weeks of duration of standard term (Ex #2 & #3)

• Student enrolls in I, II, & IV 3-credit hour modules• Student enrolls in 2nd 8-credit hour module only
- adjust the COA downward to reflect the costs of the actual period of enrollment
- loan period is entire semester
Example #1 – Standard Term
![Page 19: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Example #1- Standard Term - low cohort default rate school – single disbursement for the term scheduled for actual attendance; otherwise multiple disbursement with 2nd disb. at calendar midpoint of term
- if no enrollment in 3 cr. Module III, 2nd disb. not at calendar midpoint
- Pell and campus-based payment period is term; recalc. required if no attendance in all registered classes

Examples #2 and #3 – Standard Term
• Module duration within 2 weeks of semester’s duration, therefore standard term treatment maintained
• Pell Formula 1 applies
• Total enrollment in all modules, including overlapping modules used to determine COA if student registered for all modules

![Page 29: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Intersessions • Generally offered at schools using standard terms • May be a short session between two standard terms –
for example, 3 weeks of instructional time between two 15-week semesters
• May be a shorter summer term – for example, 12 weeks of instructional time with a 12-semester hour full-time standard
• Must offer aid to eligible students in these sessions
29
![Page 30: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Intersessions – Applicable Title IV Definitions
• Academic year:
- 30 weeks of instructional time
- 24 semester hours for undergraduate programs• Full-time:
- 12 semester hours for semesters and summer term;
3 semester hours for intersession treated as
separate term
3 wks in term X 24 hrs in acad.year
30 wks in acad. year = 3 hrs (2.4 rnd up)

Intersession as Separate Term• Creates Non-Standard Term Environment
• Pell – Formula 3
• Direct Loans;
- BBAY only; No longer qualifies to use SAY
- Payment Period and Disbursement for unequal terms
31
![Page 32: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Intersession as Separate Term - Pell
• Payment period calculations vary under Formula 3
• Prorate payments based on weeks in each payment period:
-Semesters: 15/30 annual award
-Summer: 12/30 annual award
- Intersession: 3/30 annual award
32
![Page 33: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Intersession as Separate Term – Direct Loans
• Loan Period: Minimum is lesser of Title IV acad. year, program length, or remaining balance of acad. year; for grad/prof, hours a full-time student completes in acad. year – No one-term loans
• Payment period is non-term; disburse at beginning and midpoint after completing 1/2 hours and instructional weeks
• Annual loan limit progression: completion of both weeks and hours in the acad. year
33
![Page 34: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Intersession Merged with Standard Term
• Pell - Formula 1
• Direct Loans:
- Choice of SAY or BBAY
- Loan periods, payment periods, disbursement, and loan limit
progression based on standard term, traditional calendar treatment
34

• Payments for payment periods same for all terms in an award year for particular award year
• Payments: (e.g., semester )
- Semesters: ½ annual award
- Summer: ½ annual award
- Intersession: None; part of the term
35

Case Study #1-Treated as Separate Term
• Anticipated Enrollment: 12 credits each semester; 3 credits for intersession
• Pell Scheduled Award: $4,000 for award year
• Loan Period for DL: Fall and Spring
• Non-standard term treatment for loans; Pell remains by term
37

![Page 39: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Case Study #1- Treated as Separate Term – Pell Formula 3
• Fall 1 – half-time [withdrew before census date]: 15/30 X $2,000 = $1,000
• Intersession – full-time:
3/30 X $ 4,000 = $400• Spring – half-time:
15/30 X $2,000 = $1,000• Summer – half-time:
12/30 X $2,000 = $80039

Case Study #1 – Treated as Separate Term – Direct Loan
• Loan Originated for Fall through Spring (24 attempted credits over 33 instructional weeks)
• Student must complete credits and instructional weeks – non-standard term treatment
• Two disbursements; 2nd scheduled for Spring
40
![Page 41: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Case Study #1 – Treated as Separate Term- Direct Loan
• Due to enrollment changes and non-completion, 2nd disbursement rescheduled and loan limit progression at completion of following Fall term rather than originally anticipated Spring term
41

Case Study #2 – Merged with Term
• Anticipated Enrollment: 12 credits for Fall and 15 credits for Spring (includes intersession)
• Pell Scheduled Award: $4,000 for award year
• Loan Period: Fall and extended Spring (includes intersession)
42

Case Study #2 – Merged with Term
• Student’s Actual Enrollment: Fall 1: 12 credit hours (drops 6 before
drop/add) Intersession: 3 credits (toward Spring) Spring: 6 credit hours (fails 3 credits) Summer: 6 hours
43
![Page 44: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Case Study #2 – Merged with Term – Pell Formula 1
• Fall 1 – half-time [withdrew before census date] : ½ X $2,000 = $1,000
• Spring – three-quarter time with intersession credits: ½ X $1,500
• Summer – half-time: ½ X $2,000 = $1,000
• ½ used because there are two terms
44

Case Study #2 – Merged with Term Direct Loan
• Loan originated for Fall through Spring
• 2nd Disbursement made for start of intersession as part of second term
• Remaining annual loan limit eligibility used for summer
• New academic year for loan limit begins following Fall term
45
![Page 46: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Other Considerations for Intersessions
• Must apply same treatment in an eligible program for all Title IV
• If merged, must merge with same term for all students in program for all Title IV

Current Rules – 34 CFR 668.22• When a recipient ceases attendance before the
scheduled end of the program for which s/he received Title IV, HEA aid– The institution is required to determine the
amount of aid that the student earned– The institution also determines the unearned
portion
![Page 51: Awarding and Processing Aid for Modular Session Programs Pamela Moran and Dan Klock U.S. Department of Education 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6b5503460f94b69806/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Prior to 7/1/11 • Rules did not specifically deal with term-based
programs with courses that are less than the length of the term
• GEN-00-24 – (Dec. 2000) – we said when a student is in a modular program within a standard term and the student completes at least one of the modules, then R2T4 does not apply– Completing one compressed course is the equivalent of
completing a single course that spans the entire PP or POE

“Offered in Modules” - Example A
• Institution A:– Fall and Spring = standard terms
• Never considered to be “offered in modules”– Summer = three 5-week sessions (combined to be a
standard term)• Students can enroll in any of the summer sessions or all of them• Students enrolled in the 5-week summer sessions are considered
in programs “offered in modules” since none of the sessions span the entire length of the term (the 15-week period)
