楷维升学指南了解到，7月1日起，美国教育部开始实行新的“课程诚实性”条例。

　　条例明确规定大学招生推广或市场营销活动，对教育课程性质、费用、就业前景表述，如果存在“可能使人困惑或欺骗他人”的，大学将承担相关责任并失去联邦资金补助。

　　今后，美国大学招生宣传推广必须接受详细审查，以确保信息完整准确，切实保护学生在作出选校抉择前享有的完整，真实的知情权。

　　楷维升学指南分析认为，该条例对美国教育机构“不实陈述”范围产生重大影响，同时还将影响对“不实陈述”行为处罚力度，如条例中提及的包括民事处罚和暂停联邦资金补助。该条例颁布无疑给中国学生美国留学增添了一份保障，避免陷入美国大学招生的虚假圈套。

 　　DCL ID: GEN 11-11

　　Subject: State authorization under the Program Integrity Regulations

　　Summary: This letter provides guidance on State authorization in the context of distance learning under the Program Integrity regulations.

　　Dear Colleague:

　　On October 29,2010, the Department published in the Federal Register final regulations on program integrity issues (75 FR 66832) (Program Integrity Regulations). These final regulations are available at http://www.ifap.ed.gov/eannouncements/11011

　　OPubFinalRulesforTitlveIVStudentAidPrg ms.html. More recently, we released a Dear Colleague Letter (DCL GEN-II-05) that provided guidance on three areas of those final regulations: State authorization, incentive compensation, and misrepresentation. That guidance was provided to help institutions understand the changes to the October 2010 regulations and does not make any changes to the regulations.

　　One of the specific issues addressed in DCL GEN-II-05 was State authorization in the context of distance education, including correspondence study and online learning. Under the State authorization regulations, a student that is enrolled in an educational program offered by an institution cannot use Title IV, HEA program funds for that program ifthe institution the student is attending does not have State authorization in the State in which the student resides. This is true for all educational programs, including distance education. As explained within the preamble to the October 2010 regulations, if a State fails to timely comply with the State authorization requirements at 34 C.F.R. §§ 600.9(a), and (b), for programs other than distance education, an institution may obtain extensions until July 1,2013, to secure compliance with these State authorization requirements.

　　However, since publishing the DCL GEN-II-05, we have heard complaints from some institutions, or their representatives, that they are encountering challenges in seeking and obtaining State authorization for distance education programs. We are also aware that some States are considering steps to modify or update authorization requirements for the provision of distance education training. In some cases, the changes may be a part of a broader effort to coordinate such authorizations with other States and streamline the 1990 K ST. N.W., WASHINGTON, DC 20006 www.ed.goY

　　The Department ofEducation's mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access.
