Ninety-Ten Reports

About the ninety ten (90-10) reports

The 90-10 rule refers to a U.S. regulation that governs for-profit higher education. It caps the percentage of revenue that a proprietary school can receive from federal financial aid sources at 90%; the other 10% of revenue must come from alternative sources. Campus Cafe provides reports to assist institutions with calculating student revenue by source. 

The summary report shows sums how much revenue per student is attributable to federal sources vs non-federal sources. The detail report shows all transactions associated with students and whether they are from federal sources or non-federal sources.

The Campus Cafe reports consider only student transactions. Donations and gifts recorded in Campus Cafe are not encompassed in the reports. Revenue recorded in systems outside of Campus Cafe will also not appear in the report.

Prerequisites 

  • The report determines whether to classify a transaction as federal aid (90) or non-federal revenue (10) based on the transaction code, specifically the Ninety Ten drop down selection.

Report methodology

  • Institutional Charges: Under the regulations, the report includes only payments received (cash basis of accounting) for the reporting period, but this is not all cash received. The payments must be matched against eligible institutional charges and payments can’t exceed eligible charges for the tax year. Reporting for Title IV revenue is also computed based on a hierarchy of the funds (Credit Balance, Pell, SEOG, SUB, USUB, PLUS).

  • Carry Forward Charges and Credit Balances: The calculation evaluates charges and credit balances for the history of the student.

    • Credit Balances: The student may have historical charges prior to the reporting period that are non-institutional charges that reduce credit balances issued to a student. These credit balances are evaluated during the current reporting period to include as a revenue source. The calculation considers that there are credit balances that have not been issued to the student or used for eligible institutional charges so therefore are used as a revenue source against the current eligible institutional charges for the reporting period.

    • Carry Forward Charges: There may be historical charges (not in the reporting period) for a student that are Institutional charges where cash received did not pay the full charges. These Carry Forward Charges will be used in the current reporting period if the cash received exceeded the Institutional Charges for the reporting period and there were historical institutional charges not paid during a previous reporting period.

  • Presumption Rules: These are revenue (fund) sources that can be calculated against institutional charges before Title IV funds. They are funds received from an outside non-federal source such as state grants or tribal funds (scholarships/grants) where the school does not control the money. These funds are considered 10 money and the reduce 90 money for a student who receives these funds and Title IV funds.

  • Stipend Amount: If a school grants stipends money to a student from a fund source that is considered to be Other Receipt or Non-Federal Resource, then that amount is excluded from the revenue reported.
