Even the most well-designed financial aid policies can break down in practice, creating hidden compliance risks across training, loan administration, and Return to Title IV (R2T4). For many institutions, the challenge lies in consistently applying the rules in complex, real-world environments.
Join our consultants and institutional peers for a dynamic, practitioner-led session exploring the most common pitfalls uncovered through audits, staffing transitions, system implementations, and operational remediation efforts. You’ll gain a behind-the-scenes look at where and why breakdowns occur, from inconsistent training models and unclear ownership to manual processes that introduce risk.
Hear directly from peers who have navigated these issues and gain insight into how institutions are approaching solutions in practice.
Walk away from a collaborative conversation having engaged with peers and reflected on meaningful next steps for strengthening your institution’s approach.
