Consumer Information and
Student Right-to-Know

The Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965 was amended in 2008 as the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA).

The changes implemented by the 2008 amendments require postsecondary institutions to make consumer information available to prospective and current students, prospective and current parents, employees, and the general public.

This section of the University's website is dedicated to providing access to the required consumer information in regard to financial aid, cost of attendance, health requirements, campus crime and safety, student graduation and retention statistics, and much more.
