I found State Regulations very interesting. I wish we would be able to print for reference, but that particular section is unavailable for printing.

What I found most interesting was the Do Not Call and CAN-SPAM. At the time our school is not dealing with Title IV payments.

Audits should be based on facts. We are required to have a record of an audit in either hard copy or electronically. That errors or ommissions should be fixed or improved in the alloted time. 

We are being informed that audits should be based on facts and not assumptions. That there should be accountability for audit should

be available in hard copy or electronic form.

1st item of interest to me was the regulation on the DO NOT CALL directory and the 9pm to 8am prohibiton on telemarketers calls.

2nd- FSLA, as a  supervisor in the administrative staff's human resources area the requirements of licenses was important.

3rd- Student records security is very important and and that email should be maintained as secure as the student data in our system.

as an employee at a school were funding is mostly by student, we do not accept Financial Aid, I found it eye opening that that is what is

expected of higher education institutes.  I always assumed that most colleges/institutes were mainly funded by Financial Aid.

Also, regulations to be set about non-starts, drops, withdrawals and LOAs. very informative.

I found the areas of audit citings to be very helpful in our own internal audits.

Also, not all auditing entitites use the same "definition" in wording.

It is very important to monitor (audit) what is happening within your institution.
