The program allows participating institutions to bypass some financial-aid requirements, including one that prohibits any college or university from distributing federal aid if it enrolls more than 50 percent of its students or offers more than 50 percent of its courses through distance education. Participating institutions will also be able to disregard a requirement that an academic year be 30 weeks long for a student to receive the maximum amount of financial aid.
