NASFAA's Compiled Title IV Regulations provides a searchable PDF document for each of the major parts of CFR 34. Each document contains a table of contents that is linked to the regulatory sections in that part for easier navigation. NASFAA incorporates new regulations for each award year in a format that shows what text will change the following July 1, while retaining the compiled regulations from previous years for reference.
• As of July 1, 2008 (Includes revisions that may be applied to 2007-08) Here you will find HEA, Title IV regulations in effect beginning with the 2008-09 award year. Revisions that become effective July 1, 2008, are shown in red font (for added text) or in a strikeout font (like this for deleted text). The Department of Education has permitted early implementation of most of these revisions; changes that institutions are not permitted to implement early are highlighted in gray. Keys applicable to individual sections of regulation are noted in the footer. The Table of Contents for each regulatory part is linked so that clicking on a section title will take you to that section.

• As of July 1, 2007 (Includes revisions that may be applied to 2006-07) Here you will find HEA, Title IV regulations for the 2007-08 award year. These regulations include revisions to parts 668, 690, and 691 that become effective July 1, 2007. The revisions were published on November 1, 2006. Text that is deleted is shown in a strikeout font (like this). Added text is shown in red. The Department of Education has permitted early implementation of these revisions, so that institutions may opt to apply them to the 2006-07 award year. Revisions to the loan programs resulting from THEAA (Pub. L. 109-292) that were published 9/28/07 and became effective 10/29/07 have also been incorporated. You may view the 10/29/07 THEAA changes as separate marked-up files by section.

• As of January 29. 2007 Here you will find HEA, Title IV regulations that became effective for or during the 2006-07 award year. These regulations incorporate four sets of revisions published in the Federal Register with varying effective dates that occurred during the 2006-07 award year.

This link will take you to files that show the changes in the affected sections for each one of the four sets of revisions, in struck text (deleted as of the effective date) and green highlighted text (added as of the effective date).

In some cases, a regulatory change otherwise effective 7/1/03 could have been implemented earlier at the institution’s option; the preamble to the Final Regulations published in the Federal Register carries this information.

In other cases, a regulatory change otherwise effective 7/1/00 could have been implemented earlier at the institution’s option; the preamble to the Final Regulations published in the Federal Register carries this information.
