2020-2021 Documentation of Attendance for Federal Grant Aid
Federal student aid regulations for the Pell Grant, the TEACH Grant, and the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) require
recipients to begin attendance by participating in academically related activity in all courses for which Wichita State University disbursed
these federal grant aid funds.
The Office of Financial Aid has been unable to verify that you began attendance in one or more of your scheduled courses OR has received
communication from your professor(s) that you did not attend. As such, Wichita State University has withdrawn necessary federal grant
aid funds.
Academically related activities include, but are not limited to:
Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students;
Submitting an academic assignment;
Taking an exam, an interactive tutorial or computer-assisted instruction;
Attending a study group that is assigned by the school;
Participating in an online discussion about academic matters and
Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course.
Academically related activities do NOT include activities where a student may be present, but not academically
engaged, such as:
Living in institutional housing;
Participating in the school’s meal plan;
Logging into an online class without active participation or
Participating in academic counseling or advisement.
