View a document of consumer information (https://www.liberty.edu/student-financial-services/wp-content/uploads/sites/118/2022/03/Consumer-Information_Current.pdf) with each direct hyperlink for the above reporting requirements.
The U.S. Department of Education requires all institutions receiving Title IV aid to disclose and disseminate specific consumer information.
Graduation Rate: Measures the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students by showing the percentage of these students who complete their degree or certificate within a 150% of "normal time" for completing the program in which they are enrolled.
Default Rate: The percentage of borrowers who fail to repay their loans according to the terms of their promissory notes.
Federal Student Aid: Financial aid from the federal government to help you pay for education expenses at an eligible college or career school. Grants, loans and work-study are types of federal student aid. You must complete the FAFSA to apply for this aid.
Federal Student Aid Programs: The programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 that provide grants, loans and work-study funds from the federal government to eligible students enrolled in college or career school.
Job Placement Rate: The percentage of graduating students who obtained employment either in the recognized occupation for which they were trained or in a related comparable recognized occupation within a determined timeframe after receiving their degree or certificate.
Lender: The organization that made the loan initially; the lender could be the borrower's school; a bank, credit union, or other lending institution; or the U.S. Department of Education.
Net Price Calculator: A tool that allows current and prospective students, families, and other consumers to estimate the net price of attending a particular college or career school.
Retention Rate: Measures the percentage of first-time students who are seeking bachelor's degrees who return to the institution to continue their studies the following fall.
Transfer Rate: The percentage of the full-time, first-time students who transferred to another institution.
Procedural Information
