How do upcoming regulations effect FA?

Attendence

We are a growing school, we had a student population of about 85 student about a year ago and now we have a 185 student, yea! With this we have a current attendance requirement of 90% so we are complaint with the DOE regulation but looking around at other schools i did not come across one school who has this high standards. The majority of then have 75-80 % requirement, can you clarify what is the industry standard which is complaint with the department of education.

Out of class work documentation

We are a school who recently converted our program from clock to credit due to which we have a out a class work component in compliance with the new DOE regulation. We are currently holding on to all the home works which were assigned and turned back to the instructor. we tried to digitally save it hoping to save some trees, but then we have few instructor who were not too excited about it then we went back to old school method to files all these papers in individual student folders. Do you have any suggestion on how to maintain then effectively, i am really concerned about this. Are we are expected to maintain all these records up-to 5 years.

"if its not approved im not doing it...there is no need to reinvent the wheel"

The time that was put into the information contained in these training slides were very helpful. The information really hits home and its really does prove that if you follow what you have learned, you will become very successful at helping students change their lives...

Interesting & informative information. This reinforced knowledge from a consumer standpoint.

Can-Spam Act

If a high school rep is sending out e-mails to teachers to schedule an appointment to do presentations and they do not have an existing relationship does this fall under the can-spam act?

Sarah Whitaker

Prospective student and placement numbers

A student should have the right to know how many students who completed the program have been placed in positions that actually required the skils that they learned from the program. For example, a former law student should not be included in the placed percentages if he or she is employed at Sears in the men's wear department.

Disclosure of a Disability

We rely on our applicants to disclose any physical or mental disability that would impede their training. What happens when the disability is discovered after the applicant begins the program?

Financial Aid/Need

If it is determined that a student requires a sign-language interpreter in order to have equal access (at a cost of $80K), how does this get packaged as part of their financial aid?

Derrell Cook

Do not call overview

Why once a number is registered, marketing efforts involving calls to the number must cease within 31 days and not sooner or later?

Derrell Cook

Advertising

I was not aware that advertising under headings such as "Help Wanted" or "Job Opportunities" was prohibited

Seperation of duties

Why arent small schools exempt from separating the functions of authorizing payment and disbursing or delivering funds?

Derrell Cook

Admissions Relations

Why it is important that a student who is inquiring with general admissions or aid eligibility questions not establish a relationship with the school?

PROBLEM WITH FINANCIALS

We are a small welding school that offer financial assistance thru TFC. The problem that we keep coming into is potentail students do not have funding to attend our school. We are not accredited as of yet so this makes it a little more difficult for students. Do you have any suggestions?

Training

As a new employee of Delta I found the compliance training very relevant to my position. I think the information presented was very important and even though I have worked in post-secondary education before I learned new information about the federal guidelines and how I can do my part to stay in compliance. I think that additional training throughout the year(s) would be very helpful and imperative to stay up to date with the new regulations and to refresh my memory of the current guidelines put in place.

Additional Training

I think online admissions representative should be able to take a sample class so they can experience what the student(s) might go through for their first onlince experience.

Deborah Bello

Unfunded Mandates

How are schools on strictly limited budgets suppose to implement accomodations that can be costly and threaten the solvency of the school?

Teaching Compliance

I just wanted to comment on the idea that teaching students compliance with rules, requirements, regulations, format, etc. is more important than ever in the digital age. We see this in the courses that we are required to complete being on-line courses that we complete at our own pace in a setting of our preference. There are critical thinking skills be assessed in these on-line courses which becomes much more valuable and important to learning. I try to transfer these skills into what I teach my students in the classroom.

Lindsey Reynolds

Training

The training gave me much more detailed insight that I would have ever thought. I have been in this industry for many years and learned more about regulations then I ever have. I really enjoyed it.
