Consumer Information and Federal Compliance

This page provides a single access point to all reports and disclosures mandated by The Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) which requires consistent disclosure of certain institutional characteristics and reporting requirements to prospective and current students, staff and the general public.

The content of this page is based on the "National Postsecondary Education Cooperative. (2009). Information required to be disclosed under the Higher Education Act of 1965: Suggestions for Dissemination (Updated) (NPEC 2010-831v2)" and is an aggregation of the necessary disclosures and reports.

It is designed to provide students with information from a variety of sources on campus to allow students, parents, counselors, and others to make informed decisions about enrollment at Seminole State College. While information provided in the required disclosures is helpful, it is not comprehensive and other factors may influence a decision to enroll. A paper copy of any information provided may be obtained upon request.

Military Tuition

All required regulations will be followed for students who are affiliated with the military and of the Department of Defense (DOD) in accordance with state and federal guidelines. Tuition rates may be found here.

SSC Procedure on the Return of Unearned Military Tuition Assistance Funds to the Government.

Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of TA funds originally awarded. To comply with the new Department of Defense policy, Seminole State College will return any unearned TA funds on a prorate basis through at least the 60% portion of the period for which the funds were provided. TA funds are earned proportionally during an enrollment period, with unearned funds returned based upon when a student stops attending.

Veteran's Benefits

Veterans and service members will need to check with the veteran’s benefit coordinator after admission.
Detailed information about the veteran's education benefits and application process is available on the Veterans Administration Education page.

Licensure Qualification Disclosure by Program

Seminole State College offers programs leading to professional licensure within the State of Oklahoma. States vary in what professions they require to be licensed and how licensure functions. Some states require an individual to graduate from an approved program. Others require an individual to “meet [the] certification requirements of a national organization”. A specific amount of training can also be required as well as passage of an exam based on a state requisite exam score. Often, licensed professionals must complete continuing education on an annual basis (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, 2018).

Some programs at SSC lead to a license and/or certification in Oklahoma. Beginning July 1, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education regulations require disclosures for all programs leading to a license or certification. Disclosures will be provided for all states and will indicate whether the program meets licensure requirements, does not meet licensure requirements or has not yet been determined for each state.
