Student Right to Know

The Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act requires colleges and universities that administer federal Title IV produce statistics and/or information on the following subjects: (1) retention and graduation rates; (2) financial assistance available to students and requirements restrictions imposed on Title IV aid; (3) crime statistics on campus; (4) athletic program participation rates and financial support (not applicable at Platt College); and (5) other institutional information including: the cost of attendance, accreditation and academic program data, facilities and services available to disabled students, and withdrawal and refund policies.

Consumer information may be found in the College Catalog and through direct distribution to each individual. You have the right to receive this information in paper copy. Contact the office of the President to receive paper copies of any of the information listed below.

On March 7, 2013, President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA) (Pub. Law 113-4) which, among other provisions, amedned section 485(f) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), otherwise known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act).  VAWA amended the Clery Act to require institutions to compile statistics for incidents of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and to include certain policies, procedures, and programs pertaining to these incidents in their annual security reports (ASRs). 

Platt College adheres to the VAWA of 2013 and includes annual security reports online to students, employees, prospective students, and the general public.
