A "Financial Aid Status" indicator has been added to DegreeWorks that allows advisors to see if a student has Title IV federal aid or WV state aid that will be affected. The aid must be in offered or accepted status in order for it to indicate the student has aid that may be impacted. If a student has declined the aid, it would not show.
Students can also view their financial aid online through their WVU Portal. For student instructions on where they can see the financial aid they have for the aid year and the enrollment requirements for specific aid programs, see Where can I find out what the enrollment requirements are for my financial aid.
To view CPoS results for a student:
This will be determined by the colleges and must be updated appropriately in Banner. Banner will determine which advisor receives communications and access to making overrides in the system.
In this situation, the advisor may be able to utilize a minor the same way they would an area of emphasis and add exceptions to the requirements as needed. Also, keep in mind that once a student is registered full-time in degree-pursuant credit hours, additional courses beyond those hours do not need to be degree-pursuant.
At this point, CPoS has been discussed in general with high school counselors, but there has not yet been any sort of holistic approach taken to communicate with all high schools. We are not sure when and how that would be implemented, but we will continue to investigate and update the colleges.

We are planning a series of emails to both students and advisors/points of contact to alert when one or more classes presents a risk to the student’s Title IV federal aid or WV state aid. Drafts were shared in Phase II.
CPoS reviews begin after registration and reports will be run on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis based on how close the next first day of classes is to the date of reporting. Each report sent along for faculty review will include a review deadline. Any corrections not addressed by that deadline will prompt a notification email to the impacted students.
This is undetermined at this point, but the goal is to start audits when registration begins (3/21). After running it initially, we would run updates for any registration changes periodically through an undetermined point during the semester (although it would be after add/drop). It has not been determined when the process will stop running during the semester.
Each college can determine who receives the notifications for their students. However, these staff members need to be listed as the advisor of record in Banner.
The student’s advisor will not be held responsible - the student must ultimately take ownership and accountability for their own schedule. Advisors should make appropriate notes in DegreeWorks to document how the student was advised to schedule.
This information is specific to our regional campuses when trying to combine an associates and a bachelor’s degree
Our committee is doing some research to determine if that is an option student could utilize to maximize their financial aid eligibility in that scenario. We will update the colleges with any new information.
Based on some raw numbers* from Fall 2019 and Spring 2020, the approximate percentages of full-time and part-time enrollment on all three campuses are as follows:
| Campus | Above Full-Time (more than 12 hours | At Full-Time (exactly 12 hours) | Not Full-Time (less than 12 hours) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morgantown Undergraduate | 76% | 12% | 12% |
| Beckley | 55% | 7% | 38% |
| Keyser | 61% | 9% | 30% |
| Campus | Above Full-Time (more than 9 hours | At Full-Time (exactly 9 hours) | Not Full-Time (less than 9 hours) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morgantown Graduate | 35% | 27% | 38% |
