When first-year students file the FAFSA, they may now see a notice warning them that graduates of a school they picked earn less than people with only a high school diploma. If your school is flagged, students see that notice at the exact moment they're deciding where to enroll.

Schools that obtain accreditation often see a 20%–30% increase in enrollment because students feel more confident in their educational value.
