The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act contains a provision for Higher Education Emergency Relief and Student Aid. USF receives funds that will be used for emergency student aid. Students who have expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to COVID-19 are eligible to apply for this program.

Eligible expenses for CARES Act funding include, but are not necessarily limited to, medical, food, housing, utilities, technology expenses, relocation costs to return home, unexpected childcare, course materials, and other unexpected expenses.

Students apply for assistance through the student portal, and the USF Financial Aid Office reviews applications to determine the amount distributed to each student. Students have seven days to complete the application after initiating, and if they do not complete it, the application expires.

Report Elements Glossary Table

Overview

The CARES Act report contains data pertaining to CARES Act applications and funding. Specifically, the report provides a table of all students who have initiated an application for CARES Act funding, including the amount requested, details of the virus impacts, and the expenses to which the funds will be applied, such as rent, relocation costs, or food.

When a student initiates an application, Archivum records the entry with a status of Incomplete. Once the student submits all requested documentation, the Approval Status changes. A student has seven days to complete the application after initiating, after which time the Approval Status remains in the database as Incomplete and the student must submit another application.
