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 must 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 must make information available to students or others and submit that information to the Department of Education.

Student Achievement

At Prince George's Community College, we want you to be able to make an informed choice about attending the college. The U.S. Department of Education and other government entities mandate that colleges participating in student financial aid programs provide various types of consumer information to the public. We have assembled this information here to make it easy for our current and future students and their families. The information includes:

General Institutional Information

Health and Safety

  • Drug Free Policy and Prevention Statement
  • Annual Security Report Notice of Availability
    Every college and university in the United States is required to share with its current and prospective students and employees information regarding reported crime on and around campus, where to report crime, resources available to victims, and various efforts taken to improve campus safety. These requirements are in the Clery Act, and the information is included in an Annual Security Report (also called a "Clery Report"), which can be found here. For a paper copy of the report, please contact Lt. Barbara Smith at smithba@pgcc.edu or 301-546-0398.

Miscellaneous Information

  • Copyright Infringement Policy
  • The purpose of the resolution is to ease the burden of complying with the October 29, 2010, U.S. Department of Education Regulations on Program Integrity Issues (75 FR 66831 – 66975). The new regulations require an educational institution to be “established by name as an educational institution by a State through a charter, statute, constitutional provision, or other action by an appropriate State agency or State entity…” and be “authorized to operate educational programs beyond secondary education, including programs leading t a degree or certificate.”
  • Red Flag Regulations and Guidelines
    In 2007, several federal agencies, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Trade Commission, passed Red Flag Regulations and Guidelines, which require financial institutions or creditors to develop and implement a written Identity Theft Prevention Program. The initiative aims to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft in connection with the opening of certain accounts or existing accounts. This legislation applies to higher education institutions, including student and employee information. Prince Georges Community College has recently completed a college-wide identity theft exercise. Prince George's Community College has created an Identity Theft Prevention Committee in response to the new law. The group meets regularly and has distributed a copy of the Red Flags Procedures Module for Covered Accounts Manual to each department. For more information on the college's efforts to keep your information safe from identity theft, please contact Timothy J. Dixon at dixontj@pgcc.edu.
