Gainful Employment Electronic Announcement #119 – Release of the 2019 GE Disclosure Template – IFAP
We are announcing the release of the 2019 Gainful Employment (GE) Disclosure Template. Institutions will have until July 1, 2019 to update disclosures for each of their Gainful Employment (GE) programs, using the 2019 GE Disclosure Template, and post the disclosures to program webpages.
The 2019 GE Disclosure Template has been simplified and streamlined from previous versions, providing the data that we believe are especially meaningful to students while reducing administrative burden for schools. It now includes:
- Normal time to complete the program
- Total program costs if completing the program within normal time (including tuition and fees plus books, supplies, and equipment; excluding room, board, or other expenses)
- Median cumulative debt for Title IV students completing the program within normal time (including Federal, private, and institutional debt)
- Licensure information for the program’s target occupation
- URL for the College Scorecard
- Warning language if required under 34 CFR 668.410
Unlike with previous templates, the 2019 GE Disclosure Template is not a web-based application. It will not generate a completed template for institutions. Instead, institutions may copy the provided text and fill in the information for their GE program(s), fill in the relevant data elements, and post the completed disclosure template to each relevant program webpage. Please ensure that when posting the GE template, the information is clearly available on the program website.
Any web page containing academic, cost, financial aid, or admissions information about a GE program must include the GE Disclosure Template for that program or a prominent, readily accessible, clear, conspicuous, and direct link to the program’s disclosure template.
