Explanatory Notes:

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 institution. 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, and 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 f 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 to 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 their 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.

The Department did not previously affirmatively indicate this reporting requirement was in place for HEERF II CRRSAA funds. As such, institutions may have until the end of the second calendar quarter, June 30, 2021, to post these retroactive reports if they have not already done so. In the charts, an institution must specify the amount of expended HEERF I, II, and IIII funds for each funding category: (a)(1) Institutional Portion; (a)(2), and (a)(3), if applicable. (a)(2) funds include Assistance Listing Numbers (ALNs) 84.425J (Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)), 84.425K (Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs)), 84.425L (Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs)), 84.425M (Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP)); (a)(3) funds are for ALN 84.425N (Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) Formula Grant) and 84.425S (SAIHE). Each category is deliberately broad and may not capture specific grant program requirements. Explanatory footnotes help clarify certain reporting categories. Provide brief explanatory notes for how funds were expended, including the title and brief description of each project or activity in which funds were expended. Do not include personally identifiable information (PII). Round expenditures to the nearest dollar.

The quarter pertains to the calendar year, following the same cadence the reporting periods follows. The date of release should be reported as the deadline for form submission, 10 days after the end of each reporting period. A new separate form must be posted covering each quarterly reporting period (September 30, December 31, March 31, June 30), concluding after either (1) posting the quarterly report ending September 30, 2023 or (2) when an institution has expended and liquidated all (a)(1) Institutional Portion, (a)(2), and (a)(3) funds and checks the “final report” box. IHEs must post this quarterly report form no later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter (October 10, January 10, April 10, July 10). Each quarterly report must be separately maintained in a PDF document linked directly from the IHE’s HEERF reporting webpage.
