Regent Education. Regent Education delivers the functionality, flexibility, and automation institutions need to manage an increasingly complex financial aid environment and support enrollment growth. Cloud-based and built for financial aid, Regent Education makes it easy to automate the financial aid lifecycle across multiple enrollment models.

This week on “Off The Cuff,” Melanie and Karen catch listeners up on several financial aid developments from the summer. Karen kicks things off with the latest congressional activity impacting funding for the Department of Education (ED), Title IV eligibility, and student loan repayments. The team then details new reporting data from the department on financial value transparency (FVT) and gainful employment (GE), along with some expected updates for the cohort default rate (CDR) that will begin to reflect repayment rates toward the end of the payment pause. 

Every year since 2004, when Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.) slipped a provision into a spending bill creating "Constitution Day," higher education institutions have offered educational programs about the Constitution on September 17 in order to remain eligible for Title IV funding. There are lots of ways to go about celebrating it. Some schools set up displays about Constitution Day in the library on their campuses, others set up table tents in college cafeterias, while others choose to print and pass out bookmarks to get the word out about the day. How is your school planning to celebrate? Share pictures of how your campus is celebrating with NASFAA on Facebook, Instagram or by sending us an email.

Please join us in congratulating Sara Navarro on her new job. Celebrate your own career developments by completing the "Movers and Shakers" form to share the news with your colleagues.
