General Information
| Action Summary |
The Private Postsecondary Education (PPE) unit of the Academic Affairs division of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) is responsible for regulating private and out-of-state postsecondary educational institutions operating in Virginia. The PPE unit currently regulates 126 degree-granting institutions and 165 career-technical schools at more than 300 locations throughout Virginia. Staff responsibilities include approval of new postsecondary schools; program approvals; compliance audits; granting exemptions; agent approvals; and annual recertification of postsecondary schools. SCHEV does not receive general funds to perform the duties delegated to the PPE unit by Code and Regulation. The Code of Virginia allows Council to establish nonrefundable fees for services provided by the PPE unit. All salaries, benefits and expenditures are paid out of the fees collected from regulated institutions.
The issue addressed here is the need for SCHEV to increase its fees to cover the essential functions of the PPE unit.
