Title: Accreditation and Related Issues 
Abstract:

The Secretary plans to amend regulations on accreditation under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), including regulations associated with the standards relating to the Secretary’s recognition of accrediting agencies and accreditation procedures as a component of institutional eligibility for participation in Federal student financial aid.  This regulation was included in the Program Integrity and Institutional Rulemaking process.  This included 3 days of virtual public hearings on this topic on April 11-13, 2024, giving the public an opportunity to share their views on this regulation.  In addition, there were 3 negotiated rulemaking sessions from January 8-11, February 5-8 and March 4-7, 2024, which also provided an opportunity for virtual public comments from the public each day of the rulemaking.
