This week on "Off the Cuff," David and Maria discuss two topics associated with end-of-year issues, late disbursements and unofficial withdrawals. David kicks off the discussion on late disbursements by first going through some basic rules and then discussing different scenarios institutions may experience. From there, David and Maria discuss unofficial withdrawals, R2T4, and students who stopped attending an institution before the term ends.

In response to the recent Executive Order (EO) proposing the elimination of the Department of Education (ED), NASFAA has developed essential resources to help navigate the resulting questions and concerns. We've created two FAQs to provide clarity: one tailored specifically for financial aid administrators, delving into the legality of the EO and the potential impacts on Title IV administration, and another designed in student-friendly language that you can use to address common student worries about the future of federal financial aid, including grants, loans, and the FAFSA process. We encourage you to review both documents to stay informed and effectively communicate with your campus community.

Voices of NASFAA welcomes Audra Main, FAAC®, in April, bringing her unparalleled 30-year expertise in student financial aid. Audra currently directs student financial aid at Moore Norman Technology, a public clock-hour institution in Norman, Oklahoma, and has made significant contributions at all levels of our field. This session takes on added weight as we commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing, a harrowing event Audra lived through. She will share her story of survival and the lessons learned, offering a unique and moving perspective. Tune in today, April 19 at 12 p.m. ET on LinkedIn, to connect with Audra and gain insights from her remarkable journey.

Please join us in congratulating Anne McDermott, FAAC®, on her promotion. Also join us in congratulating Debra Langdon on her retirement after 29 years of working in financial aid. Celebrate your own career developments by completing the "Movers and Shakers" form to share the news with your colleagues.
