Subject: Gainful Employment Electronic Announcement #23 - Gainful Employment Reporting Functionality Now Available on NSLDS
We are pleased to announce that online reporting functionality for gainful employment is now available on the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), including the NSLDS Professional Access Web site.
Detailed information about the use of NSLDS for reporting gainful employment data is provided in the NSLDS Gainful Employment User Guide, available on the NSLDS User Documentation page of the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site, as well as from the "Resources" section of the Gainful Employment Information Page. Institutions should use information in the guide, most recently updated on September 22, 2011, to submit required gainful employment information to the U.S. Department of Education (the Department).
In addition, institutions should refer to NSLDS Newsletter #34 for supplemental information about the NSLDS gainful employment reporting process. The newsletter discusses the new reporting functionalities on NSLDS and provides helpful tips on gainful employment reporting using the various reporting options, including the NSLDS GE Submittal Template.
As a reminder, while the regulations provide that the deadline for institutions to report GE Program information is October 1, 2011, the Department will continue to accept information through November 15, 2011. This means that institutions have until November 15, 2011 to meet the GE Program reporting requirements without any adverse action taken by the Department.
