If a grade change makes a student eligible for a TELS award, the student can be awarded retroactively in the current
award year. If the grade change affects the student’s eligibility from the previous award year, the TELS award may be
adjusted in the current award year. If the reinstatement of the award results in either an overaward situation, or exceeds
the institution’s cost of attendance for any semester, the institution shall make the necessary reductions in the student’s
financial aid package.
