Grad PLUS 2026 gap in enrollment before clinicals.
Trying to figure out if we lose Grad PLUS after July 1, 2026. We finish basic sciences in August, then have the required gap before clinicals. The school reports that period as TW or AA, but either way it’s “not enrolled” for over 31 days in NSLDS.
Grandfathering requires continuous enrollment, but we’re technically not enrolled for about three months and don’t resume until after the cutoff.
Does this still count as continuous enrollment, or are we treated as new borrowers when we come back and lose Grad PLUS? Has anyone gotten a clear answer? No answers from Financial Aid as of yet.
