The Department of Education has issued long-awaited proposed regulations implementing many of the key provisions of the Higher Education Opportunity Act passed last August. These regulations provide guidance and detail on the many new reporting, disclosure and other requirements contained in the HEOA. The proposed regulations are the product of the Department's negotiated rule-making process and thus most are unlikely to be substantially changed when the Department issues its final regulations, due by November 1. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board in July issued its final rules governing Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA) disclosures and certifications applicable to private education loans (including institutional student loans).

This program will analyze the proposed regulations and how they implement the HEOA requirements in key areas, including:

• New Campus Crime and Safety Policy and Reporting Requirements, including fire safety, missing person and emergency response policies
• Copyright Infringement Policies and Disclosures and P2P File Sharing Deterrents and Alternatives
• Student Lending Requirements, including TILA requirements for private education loans, preferred lender arrangements and financial aid Code of Conduct

Join our experienced panelists for an in-depth review of the regulations and learn how the Department has interpreted these key new compliance obligations in HEOA and embodied them in its proposed regulations, and what that means for compliance at your institution. (Note: When final regulations are issued by the Department, our panelists will supply a written update for each registered site if they differ in any significant degree from the proposed regulations covered in the program.) The program will also include opportunities for questions. Get a head start on your HEOA and TILA compliance, and an opportunity to match your current policies and compliance plans with the Department's proposed regulations.
