<p class="MsoNormal">Please forward to IC, ARC, WEC, WSSC, and FAC listservs ASAP; Laura will send to WACTC, and I’ve sent to RPC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you!!!!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Department of Education has just announced that <b><i>the deadline for Gainful Employment/Financial Value Transparency Reporting has been pushed back to January 15, 2025</i></b>. I think we can all agree that this is a welcome delay
and will allow everyone (Department of Education included) time to give the process more attention and minimize the impact of already strained resources on students at what is a busy time in a challenging year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The press release can be read <a href="https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center/library/electronic-announcements/2024-09-13/updated-timeline-financial-value-transparency-and-gainful-employment-reporting-and-completers-lists">
here</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here at the SBCTC we will continue our support work, including:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Policy Research is liaising with the National Student Clearing House for provision of baseline reports and preparing reports for those unable to access the NSC service.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">ctcLink financial aid and query development experts are preparing queries colleges can use to extract and upload data not provided by NSC.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Policy Research and the Workforce staff are working with colleges to identify programs that may be impacted by the metrics, and by changes to the 150% rule if it is re-enacted.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><o:p> </o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will produce a more detailed calendar of steps and guidance for the January 15, 2025 deadline once we have time to meet with NSC and adjust the schedules. Please let me know if your college, council or commission would like an update
at any fall meetings (email to <a href="mailto:skenesson@sbctc.edu">skenesson@sbctc.edu</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to thank everyone who worked to communicate to the Department of Education the significance of the October 1, 2024 GE/FVT deadline and the impact it was having on colleges and students. It is only through coordinated efforts like
this that we can create positive change. <o:p></o:p></p>
