July Compliance Reporting

The Student Right to Know Law: Report on Completion or Graduation Rates for Student Athletes 

20 U.S.C § 1092; 34 CFR §§ 668.41 and 668.48

By July 1st of each year, an institution that offers athletically related student aid must submit a report to the Secretary of Education that covers the 1-year period ending August 31 of the previous year. If the school is a member of the NCAA, the NCAA satisfies the individual institution's responsibility to provide prospective student-athletes and their parents, high school coach and guidance counselor their report on completion or graduation rates for student athletes by distributing the NCAA compilation of graduation rate statistics to all secondary schools in the United States. 

The Student Right to Know Law: Information on Completion or Graduation Rates  

20 U.S.C § 1092; 34 CFR §§ 668.41 and 668.45

The disclosure date is July 1 following 150% of the normal time for completion/graduation from its programs. Completion of the Graduation Rate Survey (GRS) (part of IPEDS reporting done in March -April meets the reporting requirements of the Student Right to Know Law). 

Program Participation Agreements and IPEDS  

20 U.S.C. § 1094(a)(17); 34 C.F.R. § 100.6; 29 C.F.R. §§ 1602.48-50

As part of the program participation agreements signed in connection with financial aid, an institution must complete surveys conducted as a part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) or any other Federal postsecondary institution data collection effort, as designated by the Secretary, in a timely manner and to the satisfaction of the Secretary. Filing the required IPEDS forms also fulfills certain reporting requirements under Titles VI and VII and the ADA.

If the disclosure is not practical for a certain text, a designation of *to be determined* can be noted. Written course schedules should indicate where on the university web page this info will be posted.
