The use of e-portfolios has expanded to most of the education and career world. This ranges from K–12 education, to undergraduate and graduate programs, all the way up to professionals through corporate training and employment mobility. The earlier and more consistent the use of e-portfolios begins, the more substantial their effects can be.
E-portfolios are useful across a variety of disciplines, not just traditionally visually oriented ones like studio art. For example, business programs value the reflection and self-regulated learning aspects of a well-maintained portfolio, and portfolios give students the opportunity to represent their personal and professional growth beyond traditional academic systems (Morales & Soler-Dominguez, 2016)
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) maintains a list of seven different characteristics of nontraditional students. They range from delayed college enrollment, to part-time studies combined with full-time work, to being a single parent, or simply the lack of a high school diploma. The original definition for nontraditional students only referred to the student being over age 25 when entering college. With about half of current students ranging in age from 25 to 75, being a nontraditional student is no longer rare or unusual, if it ever was.

Title IV funds consist of federal student aid awarded from programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Title IV funds include:
Title IV refunds will automatically process within 14 days of the application of the aid to the student’s account, in accordance with federal regulations. The only exception is when a student gives specific written permission to hold all or a portion of the credit balance for additional tution and fees during the same loan period, within the limited circumstances permitted by federal regulations.
If the student signs up for an eRefund, the refund will be wired into the banking system by the fourteenth day. Otherwise, the refund will be issued as a check and will be available to be picked up or mailed by the fourteenth day.
Students in the graduate and Continuing and Professional Studies programs who borrow federal student loans are more likely to have excess Title IV aid disbursed to their accounts and to be eligible for a Title IV refund. Full-time undergraduates are rarely eligible for a Title IV refund.

Title IV: You might have seen this term around during your college research. Whether or not your school of choice is a Title IV institution will affect how you are able to pay for that school now and down the line.
A Quick History Lesson
In 1965, Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Higher Education Act (HEA) into law. The goal was to increase resources for educational institutions and provide financial assistance to those students pursuing an associates, bachelors or other higher education degrees that was at least two years and would prepare them for gainful employment. Title IV of the act outlines rules related to financial aid.
This both outlines regulations to be followed by the schools that want the ability to offer federal financial aid and the expectations of the students to receive it.
The HEA has been amended a number of times to include changes such as not allowing students with a drug charge to receive federal aid and to require participating schools to make real efforts in encouraging and providing easy access to voter registration for students. These amendments still stand today.
Pennsylvania anti-bullying laws include the following definitions of bullying and cyberbullying: Bullying” shall mean an intentional electronic, written, verbal or physical act, or a series of acts: (1) directed at another student or students; (2) which occurs in a school setting; (3) that is severe, persistent or pervasive; and (4) that has the effect of doing any of the following: (i) substantially interfering with a student’s education; (ii) creating a threatening environment; or (iii) substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school; and “school setting” shall mean in the school, on school grounds, in school vehicles, at a designated bus stop or at any activity sponsored, supervised or sanctioned by the school. 24 P.S. § 13-1303.1-A (2008) Do Pennsylvania anti-bullying laws and regulations cover cyberbullying that occurs off-campus? Yes. Pennsylvania anti-bullying laws cover off-campus conduct. Pennsylvania anti-bullying laws state that a school entity shall not be prohibited from defining bullying in such a way as to encompass acts that occur outside a school setting if those acts meet the requirements contained in the bullying definition in state law.
Higher education costs in the United States have outgrown the rate of inflation, and getting an MBA has associated tuition expenses along with rent and book costs. MBAs, especially those who go to private business schools, can accumulate between $100,000 and $200,000 in debt and expenses in just over a two-year period. Fortunately, for those who are highly motivated to secure an MBA, there are alternative options one can explore in order to both receive the degree as well as minimize the costs...
So summing it up, $80,000 for tuition, $40,000 for boarding and books, $20,000 for peripheral expenditures brings the total MBA cost to around $140,000, while the lost income brings the tab to a whopping $260,000. That figure amounts to more than four years of salary at an annualized income rate of $60,000

Great list, Doug. One site I’ve always sent my clients to is the US Department of Education; it may not be a financial literacy hub per se, but it does provide an excellent overview of the types of funding available from the federal government as well as the repayment options available to students once they enter repayment.
Keep up the great work here.
Very informative. Another one that I’ve checked out is cuStudentLoans.org – it’s a group of not-for-profit credit unions offering student loans but with a key focus on financial literacy.
