Background
During the fall of 2023 the Department of Education (ED) released several regulatory packages that add new and expanded reporting requirements for institutions. These include Financial Value Transparency (FVT) and updated Gainful Employment (GE) rules. The regulations are intended to provide more data about student debt, financial aid gaps, and completion and success rates.
This webpage includes information gathered by AIR, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), the American Council on Education (ACE), and the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU) to assist institutions with the FVT/GE reporting requirements.
The resources are not intended to be a substitute for regulatory guidance from the ED, but supplemental information and resources.
Important Update
FVT/GE reporting deadline is delayed from October 1, 2024 to January 15, 2025 per an Announcement from Federal Student Aid on 9/13/2024
