Regulatory Overview - HEOA
Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) signed into law August 2008:
• Includes legislation to specifically regulate private education loans through amendments to the Truth in Lending Act.
• Mandatory compliance date of February 14, 2010.
Key concern of Congress and policymakers: • Data indicates that many students obtain private education loans
without first taking advantage of less expensive options such as federal loans.
Intent of the Act:• Provide greater transparency.• Improve the information provided to students regarding cost.• Ensure students are aware of federal loan options.• Encourage students to consult with their Financial Aid Office before
making education financing decisions to prevent over-borrowing.
