Medaille College is a recipient of the Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF).
HEERF grantees receiving ARP funds must continue to adhere to the two quarterly reporting requirements originally implemented through the CARES Act for HEERF I funding. Those reporting requirements include the following:
- Quarterly Institutional Public Reporting Form for (a)(1) Institutional Portion, (a)(2), and (a)(3) Funds: This form must be conspicuously posted on the institution's website no later than 10 days after the calendar quarter (April 10, July 10, October 10, January 10).
- Quarterly Student Public Reporting Requirement for (a)(1) Student Aid Portion and the CRRSAA (a)(4) and ARP (a)(4) program: The responses to these questions must be conspicuously posted on the institution's website no later than10 days after the calendar quarter (April 10, July 10, October 10, January 10).
Additional considerations and requirements:
- Each report is separate for the calendar quarter reporting period and not cumulative.
- Institutions must post their two separate reports (institutional and student) for a each quarter until they expend all HEERF grant funds, including the quarterly reports from previous quarters if not already posted on the institution’s website.
- Institutions combine all their HEERF funding streams (ARP, HEERF II CRRSAA, and HEERF I CARES Act) in reporting their expenditures for institutional funds and student funds.
- The Department continues to encourage institutions to submit their two quarterly reports (institutional and student) to the Department by emailing those reports as PDF attachments to HEERFreporting@ed.gov.
More information regarding quarterly reporting is available on our HEERF III ARP website.
