DoD info-collection time burden on schools
The DoD’s Voluntary Education Partnership Institutional Compliance Program will involve 250 educational institutions each year, with an average burden of 12 hours per response and a total annual burden of 3,000 hours. This collection is tracked under OMB Control Number 0704-VEPP.
Service members get clearer financial aid info
Under the MOU compliance review, institutions must ensure Service members have easy access to clear and accurate information about costs and financial aid and access to trained counseling staff. The review examines financial matters, recruiting/marketing, accreditation, and post-graduate opportunities to ensure those protections.
Selected institutions must implement corrective actions
From over 2,700 MOU signatories, the ICP narrows to 250 institutions for in-depth assessment and then provides feedback so those institutions can implement Corrective Action Plans to improve compliance with their MOUs.
