Just when you thought you had gotten over the anxiety of making professional judgment decisions created by the statutory changes to student eligibility, cost of attendance, and needs analysis mandated by the Reauthorization of 1998, along comes a myriad of new provisions that affect the financial aid administrator's discretion to use professional judgment authority. But there is no need to fear; professional judgment is your decision.
On Thursday, June 11, 2009, at 1:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time), NASFAA will present an intermediate-level Webinar on professional judgment that focuses on the changes mandated by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act (CCRAA) of 2007 and the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008, and incorporates the latest guidance on Professional judgment from the Dept. of Ed. We will be joined by Carney McCullough, Senior Policy Analyst and Team Leader, Office of Postsecondary Education, Department of Education. This live Webinar will include a comprehensive case study presented by practicing financial aid professionals, followed by a question and answer segment with NASFAA and U.S. Department of Education staff.
Topics will include:
- Dislocated workers and displaced homemakers
- Dependency overrides
- Data element adjustments
- Denying or reducing FFEL/DL Eligibility
This is an intermediate-level Webinar; therefore, participants should have basic knowledge of the general student eligibility criteria, need analysis, and cost of attendance concepts.
