Subject: Updated Cohort Default Rate Guide

We are pleased to announce the posting of the updated Cohort Default Rate Guide (Guide). The Guide is a comprehensive publication that the U.S. Department of Education designed to present information on cohort default rates. All sections were updated to reflect changes required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) enacted on August 14, 2008. Additionally, information on the Electronic Cohort Default Rate Appeals (eCDR Appeals) is now reflected in the updated Guide.
