Tootie Olsen, director of financial aid at Cabrillo College, along with college leadership approached Blue Icon Advisors to verify the institution is compliant with Title IV Federal Student Aid rules and regulations and operating efficiently. Blue Icon performed a Standards of Excellence (SOE) Review for Cabrillo, which included a detailed report of findings. Blue Icon followed up with Olsen six months after the review concluded and was told, "The SOE was great for our school. It helped us get some traction with some things we have known were issues."

The January 3, 2025, final rule made significant changes to R2T4 regulations that increase the accuracy and simplicity of calculations, address what constitutes a withdrawal, and codify longstanding policies into regulation. With the July 1, 2026, effective date closing in, it's time to begin preparing for implementation! Don't worry, we'll help with a webinar today at 2 p.m. ET that focuses on the changes made in the final rule.
