Disclosures
Consumer Information Disclosures
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. Such information includes general institutional operation, financial aid, general completion and graduation rates, annual security report, completion and graduation rates for student athletes, and athletic program participation rates and financial support.
Carolina College of Biblical Studies is committed to the principle of promoting access to information that will allow consumers such as students, parents, counselors, researchers, and legislators make informed decisions about postsecondary education. This web portal provides a single access point to all federally mandated reports and disclosures.
It is the individual’s responsibility to know and follow current requirements and procedures at the departmental and institutional levels. For additional information, including requesting a paper copy of any materials, please call or email the appropriate office.
Final regulations implementing the legislative provisions for consumer information are available from the Federal Register.
Below is a list of disclosures provided by CCBS pursuant to these regulations.
