Disclosure and Reporting Requirements

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted on August 14, 2008, and reauthorizes the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended.  A disclosure requirement is information that a post-secondary institution is required to distribute or make available to current students, current employees, prospective students, and prospective employees.

The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) contains numerous federal reporting and disclosure requirements for information from various administrative areas of higher education institutions.  In order to make this information readily available, the Office Of Institutional Research and Assessment has created this website which is designed to provide quick access to consumer information.Updated
