Aspen University Moves to HCM1 Payment Method
Aspen Group, Inc. ("AGI" or the "Company") (OTCQB: ASPU), an innovative education technology holding company, has recently announced that Aspen University ("AU") has successfully transitioned from the Heightened Cash Monitoring 2 ("HCM2") status to the Heightened Cash Monitoring 1 ("HCM1") status by the U.S. Department of Education (“DOE”). This important change became effective as of August 16, 2024.
Previously operating under the HCM2 payment method, Aspen University was required to manage student financial aid disbursements from its own institutional funds. This process also involved submitting a Reimbursement Payment Request to the DOE, with reimbursements being granted only after a thorough review by the DOE. The shift to HCM1 allows Aspen University to continue disbursing financial aid from its institutional funds while simplifying the reimbursement process. Under HCM1, Aspen University can now submit disbursement records directly to the DOE system, enabling immediate access to funds needed to cover those disbursements. This transition is expected to stabilize the Company’s unrestricted cash balances and enhance its financial management processes.
