26. Federal Aid Federal Aid and Student Loans – Administrative rules by the DoE Amendments were made to the regulatory language regarding the auditing process for Foreign Schools adding administrative compliance costs to institutions These rules go into affect on the 1 st of July 2011 > $10M = Annual US GAAP Audit Process $10M < $3M = every three years (actually two out of three years) Incentive Compensation Regulatory Language in §668.14(b)(22)(i) p. 66875 Section 668.14(b)(22) does not prohibit institutions from providing any commission, bonus, or incentive payment to students who are referrals. Therefore, an individual who is referred to an institution should be able to receive whatever scholarship money or tuition assistance that he or she may otherwise be eligible to receive without violating the HEA. The HEA does not prohibit advertising and marketing activities by a third party, as long as payment to the third party is based on those who click and is not based in any part, directly or indirectly, on the number of individuals who enrol or are awarded financial aid; therefore, the regulatory language would not prohibit such click-through payments.
