DEPARTMENT OF ED RELEASES FINAL DISTANCE EDUCATION RULES
Just before the end of the year, the Department of Education released a set of final regulations related to reporting on distance education and changes to how higher ed institutions calculate the return of Federal financial aid when a student withdraws. Starting July 1, 2027, institutions must report data to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) about students receiving Federal financial aid who are enrolled in distance education or correspondence courses.
