The Department of Education (the
Department) proposes to amend the Institutional Eligibility Under
the Higher Education Act of 1965, as Amended regulations to
implement changes to §600.21 Updating application information.
These proposed regulations are a result of negotiated rulemaking in
early 2019 and would add new requirements to the current
regulations. The proposed regulations in §600.21 would require the
institution to only report the addition of a second or subsequent
direct assessment program without the review and approval of the
Department when it previously been awarded such approval. The
proposed regulations would also require an institution to report
the establishment of a written arrangement between the eligible
institution and an ineligible institution or organization in which
the ineligible institution or organization would provide more than
25 percent of a program.
US Code:
20 USC 1094, 1099b Name of Law: the Higher Education Act of
1965, as Amended
