Student Consumer Information & ABA Required Disclosures

The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 reauthorized the Higher Education Act of 1965 and established new institution-based disclosure requirements. The President's Executive Order 13607 established principles of excellence for educational institutions serving service members, veterans, spouses, and other family members. The ABA Standard 509 also requires specific disclosure requirements by law schools.

The Student Consumer Information regulations require universities to provide students access to certain information to which they are entitled as consumers. It is the university's intention to provide complete and easy access to any information students need that adheres to HEA regulations, ABA standards and Executive Order 13607.
