Publication Title: Cohort Default Rate Guide

Section: --Cohort Default Rate Guide


The revised, comprehensive "Cohort Default Rate Guide" in a draft document is below for the community to review. In creating this publication, the Department worked with representatives of schools, guaranty agencies, and other interested parties to ensure that the information it contains is easy to understand and use. Guidance that has previously been provided in separate "Draft" and "Official" "Cohort Default Rate Guides" has been combined and published into this single "Cohort Default Rate Guide". After receiving community comment, the final "Cohort Default Rate Guide" will be sent to schools and guaranty agencies with the release of the FY 1999 official cohort default rates. Thereafter, with the release of each draft and official cohort default rates, the Department will supplement the "Cohort Default Rate Guide" with change pages. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions concerning the content, format and/or structure of the "Cohort Default Rate Guide", please e-mail Tammy Taylor at tammy.taylor@ed.gov by Monday, May 7, 2001.
