In conclusion, although the Financial Aid Director often carries the greatest responsibility for overseeing and managing the many issues related to the access and delivery of FSA funding and compliance requirements, they cannot work in isolation. Many areas beyond the Financial Aid Office are essential partners in ensuring that the institution remains in compliance, allowing it to continue offering financial aid to students.

Failure to uphold compliance standards can jeopardize the viability and financial stability of the entire institution.

Giving the students information on the several Repayment Plans is extremely helpful because it helps the student to be knowledgeable if or when they are faced with a hardship.

Deferment and Forbearance are different. Deferment stops interest from accruing, but Forbearance doesn't.  So, the borrower's loan balance will not increase when on Deferment. This is the best decision when experiencing a hardship.

Greeting students by their name and with a smile can make all the difference in the world! This gives students a feeling of belonging and also pushes them to have a positive attitude towards learning. Maintaining contact during school and after graduation forms good relationships.

Upon arrival students should be met with visual and verbal prompts to help them with their Financial Aid journey and also makes the student aware that the institution is a constant source to educate them how to be good stewards over their financial commitment.

This information was very helpful, as it supports financial aid officers in maintaining compliance while also ensuring that students remain compliant with federal funding requirements.
