In compliance with the Federal Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), universities participating in federal student aid programs are required to disclose specific information to current and prospective students. These regulations mandate that institutions make certain details accessible to students, staff, and the public. This page serves as a central resource and offers convenient links to that information.
