Reporting Additional Direct Assessment Programs

The Department of Education is requesting an extension without change of the current information collection 1845-0162, Reporting Additional Direct Assessment Programs. 34 CFR 600.21 requires an 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 regulations 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. This information will be provided to the Secretary to ensure that the institutions are properly reporting subsequent direct assessment programs at the same degree level after it has had its first direct assessment program reviewed and shown the ability to create a program that has been approved by the Secretary. The reporting time is 10 days after the first day that the program is offered. The reporting requirement for subsequent programs allows the Department to monitor the growth and development of direct assessment programs.

The latest form for Reporting Additional Direct Assessment Programs expires 2027-01-31 and is listed under ICR 202309-1845-001.
