The Department of Education (the
Department) is requesting an extension without change of the
current record keeping information collection. Due to the effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic the Department lacks sufficient data to
allow for more accurate updates to the usage of the form. There has
been no change in either the statute as provided by the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) or in the regulations. The
regulations identify the requirements under which an institution
must readmit servicemembers with the same academic status they held
at the institution when they last attended (or were accepted for
attendance). The regulations require institutions to charge
readmitted servicemembers, for the first academic year of their
return, the same institutional charges they were charged for the
academic year during which they left the institution (see section
484C of the HEA).
