Plain-English summary
College Transparency Act
This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require the National Center for Education Statistics to establish a secure and privacy-protected data system that contains information about postsecondary students. Specifically, the data system must:
- evaluate student enrollment patterns, progression, completion, and post-collegiate outcomes, and higher education costs and financial aid at the student level;
- provide complete and customizable information for students and families making decisions about postsecondary education;
- reduce the requirements for reporting by colleges and universities; and
- link with other federal systems of data.
