[Wsssc] Q about Funding non-degree "pre-nursing" credits

Good afternoon. Below is most of a response that I shared a while back that I think is linked/related. I think it is an intersection of coding as that clarifies whether a student is in a “fundable” program of study. Please let me know if you have questions.

So, for coding, particularly for pre-xxxx, we use the “M” code, which indicates “multiple pathways.” This coding has been vetted with the Feds and can be used to allow students to be eligible for financial aid without being disingenuous (it would only be disingenuous if the student, upon earning, say, a DTA whilst on the waitlist chose not to accept the degree; or if the student was opposed to the concept of being coded as pursing two paths simultaneously and only wanted to be coded for one program).

You may recall the attached memo from [2016]. I don’t believe it references financial aid directly, but the intent (no pun intended…really!) is that the codes permit students to be in multiple programs simultaneously and to be eligible for financial aid as relevant to each of those programs. The second foundational piece is that those codes can change as student goals/intents change (e.g. change from M to F when going from pre-nursing to nursing).

Does that help? If you need more details, I can connect you with our Dean/Registrar/Superstar for specifics of both coding and funding.

Best,
Matt

Folks-


I am intentionally asking this group for your leadership-level understanding of a conflict  concern we may be navigating here in the Seattle district.


For those colleges with nursing degree programs:


1) Does your Financial Aid office fund students for courses required for admission into your nursing program, but not officially part of another degree?

2) If so, how do you code them and fund them? (specifics please: are they coded as transfer? is there an intermediate "degree"?)


Your thoughtfulness and feedback is always appreciated, and will be helpful in assisting Ro/Joe/Yo in navigating this!


Rosie
