1 For the initial report and each report thereafter, institutions should use data suppression
or other statistical methodologies to protect the personally identifiable information
from student education records consistent with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act (20 U.S.C. 1232g; 34 CFR part 99) and any applicable state laws. For this report
when the total number of students who received HEERF emergency financial aid grants
as undergraduates, graduates, or in total is less than 10, but not 0, then the institution
should display the total number of students as less than 10 ("<10") on the publicly
available websites controlled by the insitution. Additionally, IHEs should use complementary
suppression to protect values that could be inferred otherwise. For example, if the
total student count is equal to 25, the undergraduate amount is equal to 20, the graduate
amount equal to 5, IHEs should report both the undergraduate and graduate amount as
'-'. The total student count can remain displayed as is.
2 For students in both undergraduate and graduate categories, classify as a graduate
student.
3 Do NOT include funds from the Institutional Resilience and Expanded Postsecondary
Opportunity (IREPO) funds as part of this annual performance report.
4 To support expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus
consistent with applicable law. This includes eligible expenses under a student's
cost of attendance under CARES Act Section 18004(c), or any component of a student's
cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition,
food, housing, health care (including mental health care), or childcare, per Section
314(c) of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021
(CRRSAA), and Section 2003 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP).
5 The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (P.L. 117-103), signed into law by President
Biden on March 15, 2022 expanded the allowable uses of funds for IHEs that received
funds under the HEERF (a)(2) programs (ALN 84.425J; T84.425K; 84.425L; 84.425M). Specifically,
IHEs that received HEERF (a)(2) grant funds now may expend them on the acquisition
of real property, renovations, or construction related preventing, preparing for,
and responding to the coronavirus. Before commencing any renovations, construction,
or real property projects supported by HEERF (a)(2) grant funds, grantees must receive
approval for the project from the Department.
6 Including funding to cover the cost of vaccine distribution.
7 Note: Section 2003(5)(B)of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) requires that an institution use a portion of funds received under such Act to conduct direct outreach to financial aid applicants about the opportunity to receive a financial aid adjustment due to the recent unemployment of a family member or independent student, or other circumstances, described in section 479A of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1087tt). Institutions do not need to report an expense under this category every quarter but must do so at least once during the life of the HEERF grants. Please see the HEERF ARP FAQs for more information.
8 Please include funding provided to cover the cost of vaccine distribution in this line. Note: Section 2003 (5)(A) of the ARP requires that an institution use a portion of funds received under such act to implement evidence-based practices to monitor and suppress coronavirus in accordance with public health guidelines. Institutions do not need to report an expense under this category every quarter but must do so at least once during the life of their HEERF grants. Please see the HEERF ARP FAQs for more information.
9 Please see the Department's HEERF Lost Revenue FAQs (March 19, 2021) for more information regarding what may be appropriately included in an estimate of lost revenue.
