[ITT-staff] Potential fraudulent enrollments

[Beardsley, Tony]

I suspect I had at least one "Pell runner" last semester.

Do you know if or when (i.e. which week of the semester) their enrollment is confirmed to release financial aid?

Hi Team,



The entire California Community College System is struggling with the issue of fraudulent enrollments from fake students that enroll in courses in order to access financial aid dollars. This issue is more acute in fully online courses which insulates us a bit in the ITT Department.



Either way, I wanted to update you that you may see an “Admin Drop” on our roster. This is our Admissions and Records Department staff dropping students who have been suspected of fraudulent enrollment.



I’ll send more information as we approach the begging of the Fall semester, but it will be especially important this year to drop students that don’t show up to class the first week and don’t contact you with an explanation.



Best,

Benjamin
