Student Right to Know

Dear Students,

The following information is available at your request.

According to regulations published by the Department of Education based on the Student Right-to-Know Act, the graduation/completion rates for first-time, full-time students who entered the institution (main and branches) in 2002 and who graduated/completed within 150 percent of the normal time to complete the program is 50%. This rate combines the graduation/completion data from the main school campus and all its branch campuses. First-time, full-time students at this location have not yet had the opportunity to complete 150% of the normal time to complete the program and therefore we do not have graduation/completion data to be included in our unified school rate.

Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) – this act explains your rights and procedures regarding inspection and review of your education records, correction of inaccurate or misleading information, consent to disclose information, institutional criteria for who is a school official, what constitutes a legitimate educational interest, and filing complaints with the Department of Education. Information is available through the Admissions Office and in the school catalog; it is also available on request to your parent, if they meet the definition of a parent under FERPA.

Financial Assistance Information – a description of all the financial assistance programs available to students is available in the Admissions and in the Student Financial Services Offices. The information available includes eligibility requirements, application procedures, forms and deadlines, criteria for receiving and continuing to receive financial assistance, student rights and responsibilities, criteria for satisfactory academic progress, terms of loans, terms of employment, frequency of and method by which aid is disbursed, entrance and exit counseling, terms of any loan repayment deferments for service.

Institutional security policies and crime statistics (called “Crime Report”) are available through the Admissions Office, Student Services, and the http://www.auastudentservices.blogspot.com/. This includes a breakdown of crimes occurring on campus reported to local police agencies or to campus security. It also includes school policies and programs for reporting crimes, law enforcement and security on campus, drug and alcohol offences, prevention of sex crimes, and other information related to campus crime and security.
