What's Hot
It’s a shock when a seemingly happy student bails out of your program without any warning. If you’d known they needed help… but it always comes out of nowhere! How do you find these students before they quit? Weave an early warning system into your communication mix that alerts you to potential threats to student success! The Virtual Adviser Start of School Pathway from Enrollment Resources is that early warning system. Through a confidential online survey within the first month of their program, the Start of School Pathway checks in on your students’ emotional wellbeing. You’re alerted to who needs attention based on their score - and also how to help them. You get the Start of School Pathway for free by coming to the 2018 CEA & AMP Annual Convention. No strings attached! Schools use the Start of School Pathway to identify potential roadblocks between their students and success. It’s an early warning about possible breakdowns in all the processes experienced by enrolled students. Register for your ticket, get $1000 worth of student retention software for a year and increase your retention rates by 5% or more.

GRC News
The final countdown for publication of the proposed Borrower Defenses and Gainful Employment regulations has begun. We anticipate that in the next several weeks we will be busy rigorously analyzing, summarizing, and developing AACS’ response for Department consideration. Similarly, we will be asking you to submit responses on behalf of your students and institutions! Unfortunately, much of the momentum from AACS’ highly successful Hill Day and the high level of expectations that 2018 might be the third in a series of ten-year incremental actions by Congress to reauthorize the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) are waning. Last Wednesday the Higher Education and Workforce Subcommittee of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce hosted a hearing entitled “Occupational Licensing: Reducing Barriers to Economic Mobility and Growth.” The exploratory hearing touched multiple times on issues related to beauty and wellness programs, with specific commentary from Subcommittee Chairman Guthrie, invited panelists: Robert McNamara, Senior Attorney with the Institute for Justice and Mr. Bryan A. Schneider, Secretary, Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and many Subcommittee Members. Last Thursday, June 21, 2018, the Trump Administration unveiled a far-reaching plan to reform and reorganize government. Entitled “Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century: Reform Plan and Reorganization Recommendations,” the plan, among many, many other revisions propose to merge the U.S. Departments of Education and Labor into a single Cabinet agency, consolidate and streamline a myriad of agency programs on financial literacy, and focus heavily on revisions within the new merged agency.
