New FSA Guidance on Third-Party Servicers (TPS)

The large impact on all sectors of the Higher Education Community and their servicers

 

The new FSA Guidance on Third-Party Servicers has a greater impact on all schools and all contracted entities than many might think.

 

According to the guidance most, if not all of your contracts need to be reviewed – not just financial aid contracts – the entire school’s contracts. FSA states that “almost every service impacts TIV Administration”. If your school is using solutions such as PeopleSoft, Banner, etc. – these are TPS (third-party servicers). If a school is using an entity to administer distance learning – this too is now a TPS. We could go on, but there is no point until the comment period is over and we receive more guidance.

 

Most, if not all entities are going to have to modify their business model to include all the TPS requirements, which includes annual audits that you will have to include with your annual audit. Everything must be adjusted and it will cause a large problem for all schools and service entities. And don’t forget to consider the additional costs to these entities that will be passed along to the schools. That will affect your school’s budget.

 

Recently, the Department doubled down on this guidance but pushed out the deadline for compliance until September 2023 instead of the original deadline of May 2023. We will need all that time, and probably more to get ready for this.

 

Please JOIN US FOR THIS IMPORTANT WEBINAR which will be presented by one of the top Financial Aid lawyers in the country.

Adjusting To Our New Normal: A How-To on Staying Sane, Healthy and Productive When Working from Home

 

 

Can you believe that most of us have been in a virtual environment for almost 8 weeks? The global outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) has created significant challenges and stress for all of us. Embracing change and adaptability has become essential. Tune into this webinar to hear thoughts on:

 

·  Change during crises, and how it disrupts our ability to process information 

·  Understanding the toll anxiety and stress take 

·  Adapting to change and being flexible enough to continue to develop and adapt 

·  How to transition through change

 

Through this session, we'll lean into the vulnerability and remind ourselves that our adrenaline cannot fuel us through a crisis that lasts for six weeks, or longer. Our goal is to have you walk away with a road map to better understand how you're feeling, find your footing, and learn how-tos on settling into a new normal.

Five pandemic issues higher ed should be talking about right now but aren’t - Planning on re-opening?

TUESDAY August 18th

 

HAND OUT

 

 

The COVID-19 pandemic hit US higher education this spring like a massive earthquake. The uncertainty and upheaval it created now threatens an entire new academic year as millions of uncertain students consider their options and institutions struggle with the uncertainty of where the funding will come from to continue providing high-quality education and administrative services.

Press attention has largely focused on students opting to take gap years and federal stimulus funding to help colleges weather the storm. Other challenges, and even possible solutions, have gotten lost in the fray as a result. Are students who defer more/less likely to finish? What will borrowing look like when millions of traditional students remain with their families instead of away at school? Where can technology help relieve stress on institutional budgets? What federal or state policy solutions need emphasizing and re-thinking?

In this webinar, we are pleased to have Carlo Salerno, Vice President of Research at CampusLogic and Mark McGinnis, Sr. Solutions Architect at Campuslogic who will unpack some of these looming issues and opportunities. Using both federal data and findings from several recently completed national surveys, their goal is to provide membership with a wider perspective that can inform institutional thinking and give schools a different perspective on the tools and opportunities at their disposal as they head into the new academic year.
