The section requires the Secretary, after the Governor's finding, to determine that the program has been offered for at least a year, has a verified completion rate of at least 70 percent within 150 percent of normal time, has a verified job placement rate of at least 70 percent measured 180 days after completion, and charges published tuition and fees no higher than the value-added earnings of aided students who finished three years earlier, being their median earnings adjusted for regional price parities less 150 percent of the poverty line for a single person.

“for each award year, the program has a verified job placement rate of at least 70 percent, measured 180 days after completion; and”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 83002
That sentence, in plain words

At least 70 in every 100 students must find work. That is checked 180 days after they finish. It applies each award year.

What this is about

A completion rate of 70 percent is also required. The course must have run a year already. Its price may not top what students gain.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
