The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be examining the operations of post-secondary schools, such as for-profit colleges, that extend private loans directly to students. The agency explained: "The CFPB is issuing an update to its exam procedures including a new section on institutional student loans. As the CFPB begins its supervision, the exam procedures inform industry about practices that CFPB examiners will review, including placing enrollment restrictions, withholding transcripts, improperly accelerating payments, failing to issue refunds, and maintaining improper lending relationships."
