Consumer Information
The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), requires institutions participating in federally funded financial aid programs to make information about the institution available to current and prospective students. The consumer information and student right-to-know page serves as a central location for parents, students, employees and the campus community to obtain information and resources.
This page provides a central guide to sources of consumer information, college policies and required disclosures under Title IV. Title IV requires institutions to participate in certain financial aid programs to disclose specified information to all prospective students, applicants, employees and current students.
