Ensure Compliance With Federal & State Laws
Institutions nationwide are grappling with significant federal policy shifts that carry serious compliance implications. Recent laws require extensive curricular and catalog updates—and institutions that continue to require or offer courses deemed noncompliant risk ineligibility for federal funding.
Join us on March 30, 2026 when our expert presenter will provide a comprehensive overview of the legal and regulatory policies now shaping academic programs and course offerings. This session will examine how mandated changes affect curriculum design, catalog language and institutional risk, with a particular focus on the urgent need to audit and update academic catalogs to ensure alignment with current law.
Participants will gain practical guidance on reviewing and revising catalog content to reflect institutional mission, classroom behavior expectations and course requirements—while minimizing legal exposure and protecting academic integrity. Avoid costly missteps, reduce confusion, and safeguard your institution from compliance violations and legal challenges by taking a proactive, informed approach to academic catalog management.
Topics Covered
Gain crucial, actionable takeaways that will help you to:
- Conduct a thorough catalog audit to ensure compliance with Federal policies and mandates.
