Supplemental Instructions for Reporting Students with Intellectual Disabilities Data on the Fiscal Operations Report for 2017-2018 and Application to Participate for 2019-2020 (FISAP)

Introduction

Under section 484(s) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, a student with intellectual disabilities who enrolls in an eligible Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary (CTP) program may receive Title IV program funds under the Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant), Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and Federal Work-Study (FWS) programs. These students are not eligible to receive funding under other Title IV programs, such as the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. These students must meet all of the student eligibility requirements in 34 CFR 668.233. Under those regulations, students with an intellectual disability, among other things, do not have to be high school graduates, have obtained a GED, or have passed an ability-to-benefit test, and they do not have to be enrolled in a program that leads to a degree or certificate.

Special FISAP Supplemental Instructions

Because only a small number of institutions participating in the Campus-Based programs have approved CTP programs at this time, we have not altered the original instructions on the FISAP. The FISAP currently only refers to students in regular academic programs. However, institutions that enroll eligible students with intellectual disabilities in an approved CTP program must also include these students in the appropriate fields on the FISAP as explained below:

Application to Participate for 2019-2020 portion of the FISAP

Part II, Section A. Request for Funds for the 2019-2020 Award Year
In completing Part II, Section A, field 3 (FSEOG federal funds) and field 4 (FWS federal funds) the institution must include the funds it plans to award to students in the CTP program.

Part II, Section D. Information on Enrollment

Part II, Section E. Assessments and Expenditures
In completing Part II, Section E, the institution must include any tuition and fees revenue collected for CTP program students in the undergraduate column in field 22 and it must include the Federal Pell Grant funds paid to these students in field 23(a).

Part II, Section F. Information on Eligible Aid Applicants Enrolled in Your School
In completing Part II, Section F, the institution must include the CTP program students who applied for financial aid for the 2017-2018 Award Year, regardless of whether or not they received financial aid.

Fiscal Operations Report for 2017-2018 portion of the FISAP

Part IV. FSEOG Program, Part V. FWS Program, and Part VI. Program Summary
In completing Parts IV, V, and VI of FISAP, the institution must include any CTP program students in the appropriate fields if they had received FSEOG and/or FWS funds for the 2017-2018 Award Year.
