NPEC Releases Revised Report on HEA Institutional Disclosure Requirements

The National Postsecondary Education Cooperative (NPEC) Working Group on the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), announces the release of the revised Information Required to Be Disclosed Under the Higher Education Act of 1965: Suggestions for Dissemination.

While the report was originally released in October, it has been updated to include final regulations from the U.S. Department of Education issued late last month. The report assists colleges and universities in successfully identifying and meeting their obligation to disclose information as required under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) as amended by the HEOA, and in making the HEA-required disclosure information more accessible and understandable to consumers, and more comparable across institutions.

In addition, it includes two very helpful appendices for ongoing reference:

  • Appendix A: Presents a summary of HEA Institutional Disclosure Requirements by providing general information about each of the required disclosures in Title I, Title II Teacher Preparation Program Report, and Part G of Title IV of the HEA.
  • Appendix B: Provides a summary of the disclosure requirements and a listing of the HEA-required disclosures by the required methods of dissemination.

Questions about the report can be directed to the NPEC Project Officer at the National Center for Education Statistics, part of the U.S. Department of education, at nancy.borkow@ed.gov, or to the Working Group Chair Person, Bryan Cook, of the American Council on Education. He can be reached at bryan_cook@ace.nche.edu. To view, download or print this report, visit http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2010/2010831.pdf.
