Finding Text
In June 2023, during an internal quality assurance review, WGU identified a population of students that had the comment code 282 – Total and Permanent Disability (TPD). Students with a TPD code have had prior loans discharged due to total and permanent disability and must be reviewed before they are eligible for additional Title IV funds. As a result of not reconfiguring WGU’s system after changes were made by the U.S. Department of Education ( DOE) in how certain codes are reported to participating universities, WGU’s system did not properly identify students with the TPD code and, therefore, WGU did not initially obtain additional documentation from these students, as required, before disbursing additional Title IV funds to these students.
