Institutions have also been offered the opportunity to cease meeting GE regulations earlier than 2020, provided they follow the Department’s instructions. If you are not aware, the Gainful Employment rule provides a regulatory framework that governs certain metrics for certificate programs. Institutions receiving Title IV funds, such as Pell, must comply with the GE rule.
