The Department of Education, through Federal Student Aid, is seeking public comments by January 27, 2025, on an extension of a current information collection requirement related to the readmission of servicemembers to educational institutions. This extension would maintain requirements under the Higher Education Act of 1965 for colleges to readmit servicemembers to their prior academic status and charge them the same tuition as when they left. The Department is looking for feedback on the necessity, timeliness, and burden of this collection, as well as ways to enhance its quality and minimize burdens on respondents.
Simple Explanation
The Education Department is asking people to share their thoughts on letting soldiers return to school with the same tuition they paid before they left for duty. They want to know if this rule is helpful and how it can be made easier for everyone.
