The For-Profit Sector
The Career College Association is a voluntary membership organization of private, postsecondary schools, institutes, colleges and universities that provide career-specific educational programs. CCA’s 1,000 members educate and support more than a million students each year for employment in over 200 occupational fields.
CCA member institutions cover the full gamut of postsecondary education: from short-term certificate and diploma programs, to two- and four-year associate and baccalaureate degrees, to master’s and doctoral programs.
Most CCA member institutions participate in federal student financial assistance programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act.
In addition, over the past four years CCA’s Foundation has provided more than 17,000 scholarships to high school graduates attending CCA member schools, institutes, colleges and universities.

Reauthorization – Issues (continued)
50% Telecommunications Rule Accountability
Probably off the table: 12-Hour Rule Incentive Compensation
Transfer of Credit
Issue: CCA’s Foundation commissioned the Institute for Higher Education Policy to study the relationship between credit transfer of students who attend nationally accredited institutions to regionally accredited institutions. The study found a strong pattern of full acceptance of credit for virtually all institutions that are regionally accredited, but acceptance for only a small percentage of institutions accredited by national accrediting bodies.
CCA Proposal: Revise section 1094(a) to add a new required condition in the program participation agreement signed by institutions participating in the Title IV student aid programs as follows: (25) The institution will not exclude transfers of credit earned by students completing courses of programs from other eligible institutions of higher education on the basis of the agency or association that accredits such institutions, provided that the agency or association is recognized by the Secretary pursuant to Subpart 2 of Part H of this Act, and will base decisions on whether to accept such credits solely on whether the courses or programs are equivalent in content to those offered by the institution and the student has completed the course or program at the required level of proficiency.
Revise section 1099b(a) to add a new required recognition criterion for accrediting agencies:(9) such agency or association shall not adopt or apply standards, policies or practices that restrict transfers of credits between eligible institutions of higher education as defined by this Act that are accredited by an agency or association recognized by the Secretary under this Subpart.
Return of Title IV Funds
Issue: Return of Federal Funds has been one of the most controversial provisions of the 1998 reauthorization. CCA has commissioned a major study to determine the extent of harm to students and institutions.
CCA Proposal:Use the results of the study and its simulation model to develop specific proposals. Anticipated completion the end of January.
90-10 Rule
Issue: As part of the 1998 HEA Amendments, Congress modified the
85-15 rule to allow no more than 90% of a proprietary institution’s
revenue to be derived from Title IV. Subsequently, the Department of
Education changed the definitions of eligible revenue to make
compliance more difficult.
CCA Proposal: CCA has contracted with the American Economics
Group for a comprehensive study of the effect of the 90-10 rule on
students and institutions. Upon completion of the 90-10 study, CCA
will determine the alternative proposals that have the greatest aggregate
benefits for the largest number of institutions and students.
Financial Responsibility
Issue: The higher education community and the Department of Education have gained five years of experience in applying the financial responsibility regulations adopted in November 1997. While the regulations have been an improvement over the requirements previously used to measure financial responsibility, there are still serious problems with the manner in which the Department judges the financial stability of institutions.
CCA Proposal: Only historic goodwill should be used in determining the ratios and calculating the
composite score; additional goodwill booked as a consequence of an acquisition would not be
deducted. After an acquisition, this additional goodwill would be recognized on a gradual basis
over a five-year period. This treatment of goodwill would be conditioned on the acquirer being
creditworthy at the time of the acquisition as measured by the strength factors for its primary
reserve and equity ratios.
The language of the statute should clearly state that the Secretary will permit accounting
treatments that are in accordance with GAAP.
Single Definition of a Higher Education Institution
Issue: 1998 HEA Amendments moved toward enacting a single definition for the purpose of providing equal access to all Title IV programs. Separate definitions still remain in Section 101 of the Act.
CCA Proposal: Revise the Act to include proprietary institutions in Section 101 and delete Section 102.
Federal Investment in Postsecondary Education
Issue: The federal grant and loan programs have not kept pace with inflation. Grants now account for less than one fourth of federal financial aid.
CCA Proposal: Increase funding to the Pell Grant program thereby increasing the maximum award levels, and explore other innovative proposals such as the concept of “front-loading” federal grant aid to provide increased assistance to students during their first two years of postsecondary education.
Increase the loan limits of the subsidized and unsubsidized federal student loans as much as feasible within the constraints of budget considerations, with special consideration given to students who are in year one and two where assistance is often needed the most.
Provisional Certification
Issue: Provisional certification is a status that carries both limitations and risks that fully
certified institutions do not face. The Department of Education takes the position that the
Secretary may terminate the provisional certification of institutions as a response to
allegations of regulatory violations. In such cases, the institutions do not have the due
process protections that would be provided in a Limitation, Suspension & Termination
action or an emergency action.
CCA Proposal:The law should be changed to create an exemption from the requirement
that an institution be placed on provisional certification upon a change of ownership that
results in a change in control when a change transfers ownership to a person or entity that
has an established track record of regulatory compliance, which could be judged by
whether the acquiring institution is itself fully certified and is permitted to use the
advance payment method.
Additionally, the Department’s ability to make ad hoc policy should be replaced with a
clear set of rules.
Judicial Review
Issue: The Department of Education has used an obscure provision in the HEA to persuade some federal courts to deny educational institutions their day in court.
CCA Proposal: Amend Section 432(a)(2) of the HEA to allow court review.
50% Telecommunications Rule
Issue: During the 1992 HEA Amendments, Congress enacted the 50% telecommunications rule. The rule stipulates that institutions are not eligible to participate in Title IV programs if they offer more than 50% of their courses via telecommunications or correspondence or if 50% or more of their regularly enrolled students are enrolled in telecommunications or correspondence courses.
CCA Proposal: CCA supports modification of the 50% rule to allow increased flexibility for students in meeting their educational goals.
Accountability
Issue: The Administration has indicated that, just as performance measures were the centerpiece of the recent K-12 reauthorization, it will seek to import into the postsecondary education arena some measure of institutional effectiveness. CCA formed a Task Force to formulate recommendations for reasonable, workable accountability measures in higher education.
CCA Proposal: Create an “Institutional Report Card” based on a general framework with three constituent parts:
• Input measures to assess the resources and capacity to deliver educational services;
• Output measures to provide information on graduations/completions; and
• Outcomes measures to demonstrate value added to students.
