Subject: Gainful Employment Operations Manual
We are pleased to announce the posting of the updated Gainful Employment Operations Manual. The Gainful Employment Operations Manual contains information about gainful employment (GE) disclosures, debt measures, and challenge operations. It is intended for institutions that participate in the federal student assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). Within this manual, you will find guidance regarding implementation and compliance with each aspect of the gainful employment regulations.
Note: This November 2015 update includes a new chapter on GE program certification and a chapter on debt measures. An updated table of contents is provided, and we also replaced the “Purpose/Overview” chapter to fix one minor typographical error. In the coming months, we will post the remaining chapters of the manual, as they are finalized.
