Student Consumer Information

The Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), includes many disclosure and reporting requirements. A disclosure requirement is information that a postsecondary education institution is required to distribute or make available to another party, such as students or employees. A reporting requirement is information submitted to the U.S. Department of Education or other agencies. Disclosure and reporting requirements sometimes overlap. For certain topics, institutions are required to make information available to students or others and to submit information to the Department of Education. In addition to federal requirements, Louisiana Legislature in the 2010 session passed two compliance resolutions: HCR 152 and HCR 197. This section contains all mandated compliance initiatives. The Northshore Technical Community College outcomes on those compliance resolutions are listed below.
