UMT Receives Eligibility and Approval Report for Federal Student Financial Aid Programs (Title IV)
ARLINGTON,
Virginia, February 16, 2007 – UMT’s
Vice President, Dr. C. Eric Kirkland, announced
that as of
12 February 2007, the U.S. Department of Education
(ED) determined UMT is an "eligible institution"
under the terms of the Higher Education Act
of 1965,
as amended (HEA).
UMT will be listed in the next edition of
the Directory of Postsecondary Institutions
published by ED.
UMT’s Office of
Postsecondary Education identification number
(OPE ID) is 04110300.
Dr. Kirkland, who led
the effort of obtaining the Title IV, explains
the important of this
determination, “UMT students with existing
student loans (Federal Family Education Program
Loans and Federal Direct Student Loans) now
may defer repayment while attending UMT.”
UMT did not seek authorization to handle loans,
so prospective students cannot attend UMT using
Title IV funds.
