Gainful Employment (GE)	34 CFR 668.6(b) The October 29, 2010, regulations effective July 1, 2011, include a provision, at 34 CFR 668.6(b), that requires institutions to disclose, for each of their GE Programs, certain information about the programs to prospective students. The school must include the information required in promotional materials it makes available to prospective students and on its Web site. The regulations also provide that the school must "Use the disclosure form issued by the Secretary to provide the information ... when that form is available" (34 CFR 668.6(b)(2)(iv)). These disclosures must begin no later than July 1, 2011. Schools are responsible for meeting these disclosure requirements using their own form until the Department releases its form. The following is a summary of the information that must be disclosed by an institution for each of its GE Programs. Institutions must review the final regulations as published in the Federal Register to ensure that they are in compliance with this and all other gainful employment requirements: The name and U.S. Department of Labor's Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code of the occupations that the program prepares students to enter, along with links to occupational profiles on the U.S. Department of Labor's ONET Web site or its successor site. The on-time graduation rate for students completing the program. The tuition and fees the institution charges a student for completing the program within normal time. The typical costs for books and supplies (unless those costs are included as part of tuition and fees), and the cost of room and board, if applicable. The job placement rate for students completing the program. The median loan debt incurred by students who completed the program (separately by Title IV loans and by other educational debt to include both private educational loans and institutional financing) as provided by the Secretary. Other information the Secretary provided to the institution about the program *Note: One of the informational items that must be disclosed to prospective students is the median loan debt incurred by students who completed the GE Program. In anticipation of the receipt of student-level information from the institutions and to provide consistency among institutions, the regulation provides that the Secretary for the institution's disclosure to prospective students will provide these median amounts to the institution. However, since the first disclosures under the new regulation must be made no later than July 1, 2011, and the first reporting by institutions is not required until October 1, 2011, an institution must include in its disclosures its own calculation of median debt - separately showing Title IV debt and other educational debt - until such time as the Department provides that loan debt information. The loan debt information disclosed by institutions should be consistent with the information the institutions report to the Department.
