Gainful Employment Programs

Federal regulations published in the Federal Register on October 29, 2010, [75 FR 66665 and FR 66832], by the U.S. Department of Education (the Department), require institutions that participate in the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA), to report certain information about students who enrolled in Title IV-eligible educational programs that lead to gainful employment in a recognized occupation (GE Programs). Those regulations also provide that institutions must disclose to prospective students certain information about their GE Programs.

Faulkner State has identified several one-year certificate programs that meet the requirement for GE Programs – see below.  Although the departments are still in the process of providing parameters for the regulatory disclosures of the GE Programs, Faulkner State has provided information below to help our students and potential students make informed decisions regarding their educational goals. Students’ personal information will not be disclosed.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Department’s Net Price Calculator Template
Q: When will the Department update its Net Price Calculator template?
A: The latest version of the Department’s Net Price Calculator template uses 2009–10 data. The Department anticipates making available updated templates annually in December.

Q: I would like to enter 2011-12 data into the template, but that is not an option. Why not?
A: Since the Net Price Calculator is based on data from actual full-time, first-time undergraduate students who have attended your institution, you cannot use data for an academic year that has not yet been completed.

Q: I would like to enter 2010-11 data into the template, but that is not an option. Why not?
A: Since the EFC tables that operate in the background for the template are based on FAFSA data, we must wait until the 2010-11 data is publically released before adding the academic year to the template. The Department anticipates making updated templates available annually in December.
