In California, bills inspired by Federal gainful employment regulations were introduced. AB 1611 would require the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education to establish a standard prohibiting an institution from enrolling new students who are using specified student loans for any program offered by the institution in which fewer than 70 percent of graduates of that program are graduates employed in the field, as redefined by the bill’s provisions. Learn more about other state legislative activity in this week’s State Relations Update.

Are you planning on attending this year’s AACS School Leaders Summit? If not, we urge you to rethink that decision. This is your opportunity to get a front row seat to learn from one of the most accomplished business minds of the 21st Century. Milady is very proud to bring you Josh Linkner, not only as your Keynote Presenter, but as your Event Mentor on Day 1. 

This could be your opportunity to positively disrupt your business before you are disrupted. Be the entrepreneur you know you are; be creative even if you don’t believe you are; solve problems instead of just identifying them; be innovative, and most of all BE SCRAPPY! 

Reach! This is your moment to make a difference. We hope to see you in Arizona at the Summit. An optional Legal Workshop will be offered on May 7 for an additional fee. Register and book your hotel now on our website.
Your best enrollment gains are typically made through tiny process improvement victories. Small tweaks can generate interest from students you seek by improving website conversion rates. Enrollment Resources will walk through a series of website optimization tests, showing how tiny innovations can generate the right interest in your schools. We’ll show several split-test renditions, ask for votes on which performed better then reveal the winner! Afterwards, we’ll talk through the when and why of each test.

Register for this webinar and more for free on the AACS website. And did you miss a recent webinar? You can view them online here.
