Gainful Employment
Regulations published in the Federal Register on October 29, 2010 [75 FR 66665 and
FR 66832] by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) require postsecondary institutions
that participate in the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title
IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended, to disclose to prospective
students certain information about the institution’s "Gainful Employment" (GE) programs.

that are eligible for federal student aid because they prepare students for gainful
employment in a recognized occupation. Please contact the financial aid office for
