Consumer Disclosures and Gainful Employment Reporting

Colleges are required to publish annually, specific information on its website regarding the programs that may be eligible for Title IV funding and about the students that are in the programs.  Due to ongoing litigation and legislative actions, some of the requirements previously enacted have been suspended.  However, the disclosure requirements that remain include:

 

  • Providing information on the individual program webpage that tells students what occupations the program prepares the students to enter, both by name of program and by SOC codes.  (Number of students in the individual program is not a factor).

     

  • Publish the length of time it takes to complete the program (normal time).

 

  • Information related to the on-time completion rates of students in the program, provided the program has at least 10 graduates.  This requires specific calculations that are set forth in the regulations.

     

  • The costs of the program, including all mandatory fees, tuition, books and supplies.  It also includes room and board if applicable to the institution (Number of students in the individual program is not a factor.)

     

  • Placement rates for students upon completion of the program.  (Number of students in the individual program is not a factor.)

As you navigate the college's on-line catalog, you will find (GE Program) links that will take you to the gainful employment required disclosure information on that particular gainful employment program.  I invite you to review the information and if you need any further clarification or have additional questions, please contact the Compliance Office at (941) 752-5220.

 

The College has approved the following programs for Title IV financial aid and therefore are subject to the Consumer Disclosure and Gainful Employment Reporting:
