 CHAPTER VI--OFFICE OF POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

 

PART 668_STUDENT ASSISTANCE GENERAL PROVISIONS--Table of Contents

 

    Subpart D_Institutional and Financial Assistance Information for 

                                Students

 

Sec. 668.44  Availability of employees for information dissemination 

purposes.



    (a) Availability. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this 

section each institution shall designate an employee or group of 

employees who shall be available on a full-time basis to assist enrolled 

or prospective students in obtaining the information specified in 

Sec. Sec. 668.42, 668.43, 668.45 and 668.46.

    (2) If the institution designates one person, that person shall be 

available, upon reasonable notice, to any enrolled or prospective 

student throughout the normal administrative working hours of that 

institution.

    (3) If more than one person is designated, their combined work 

schedules must be arranged so that at least one of them is available, 

upon reasonable notice, throughout the normal administrative working 

hours of that institution.

    (b) Waiver. (1) the Secretary may waive the requirement that the 

employee or group of employees designated under paragraph (a) of this 

section be available on a full-time basis if the institution's total 

enrollment, or the portion of the enrollment participating in the title 

IV, HEA programs, is too small to necessitate an employee or group of 

employees being available on a full-time basis.

    (2) In determining whether an institution's total enrollment or the 

number of title IV, HEA program recipients is too small, the Secretary 

considers whether there will be an insufficient demand for information 

dissemination services among its enrolled or prospective students to 

necessitate the full-time availability of an employee or group of 

employees.

    (3) To receive a waiver, the institution shall apply to the 

Secretary at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Secretary.

    (c) The granting of a waiver under paragraph (b) of this section 

does not exempt an institution from designating a specific employee or 

group of employees to carry out on a part-time basis the information 

dissemination requirements.
