New Title IV Reporting Requirement

Campus Colleagues,

As we prepare for the first day of classes on Monday, I want to remind you of our responsibilities related to the federal Title IV regulation. 

In addition to verifying class attendance, engagement and/or participation to satisfy Title IV federal reporting requirements, all faculty and instructors are required to indicate if students who dropped a class prior to the W grade deadline (the last day a student can drop without a course appearing on a transcript) attended, engaged in and/or participated in the class ON or BEFORE the date student dropped. This semester, the deadline is Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024.

To comply with Title IV federal financial aid regulations, the UK Office of Student Financial Aid must identify all students who attended, engaged in and/or participated in classes during this period (even if the student dropped) and earned aid, for which the student is due.     

Students who drop a class between the first day of classes (Monday, Aug. 26, 2024) and the W grade deadline (Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024) will be displayed on the class roster in myUK for attendance verification. The drop date for each student is shown, and “YES” or “NO” inputs are required, with no default selection. Faculty and instructors will be required to indicate if a student attended, engaged in and/or participated in the class ON or BEFORE the drop date shown by responding “YES” or “NO.”    

Like Title IV attendance verification, reporting is required for all students, all courses and at all levels. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to the Office of the University Registrar at titleiv@uky.edu.

Thank you for all your efforts to support our students.
