Updating your Title IV Authorization will show up as one of your tasks through . Title IV funds are federal student aid funds (Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans, Direct PLUS Loans, Federal Pell Grants, etc.) administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Unless you grant additional permission, The U.S. Department of Education regulations only allow schools to use your Federal Student Aid to pay for current academic year institutional charges. Federal Title IV funds do not include scholarships from the university.

The U.S. Department of Education requires that Title IV funds be applied to specific allowable charges, including: tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board billed by the University. If your total bill exceeds available Title IV funds, you must grant authorization of these funds to non-qualifying charges.
