Blocks

As part of maintaining the integrity of the financial aid packages offered to students, and in complying with federal guidelines, the University has set in place a blocking system that tags the student's record with information regarding problems with academic status, loan default, or prior billing indebtedness. The blocks that have been created appear on the student's record and are visible to the student (via the S.I.S. system), as well as academic and administrative staff.

The following is a listing of some of the most common blocks, and the actions triggered by their appearance on the student's record. More complete information on this blocking system is available from the Registrar's Office:
