FERPA Notification
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords eligible students certain rights with respect to their educational records. An ‘eligible student’ under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older, who attends a postsecondary institution. It is important to know your rights and it is the College for Technical Education’s sincerest desire to keep all student information private, unless otherwise noted. The enclosed document is the annual notification of the student rights. A paper copy of the FERPA notification may be requested in the Financial Aid Office of the College.
Community/Student Resource Handbook
The College for Technical Education is dedicated to assisting students in their pursuit of education. When “life gets in the way” of achieving your goals, it can affect not only your peace of mind, but your future financial security.
With this in mind, the enclosed Student Resource Book has been compiled that may help guide you to assistance with food, child care, substance abuse, crisis service and housing. We know that not every barrier can be overcome, but let us help. If you know of a local service that is provided and is not included here, please let us know by contacting us here.

Employment Solutions, Inc. is an organization that promotes personal and economic independence; therefore every effort is made to provide reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. So that we may assist applicants under the (ADA) Americans with Disabilities Act, applicants who reveal a disability may request accommodations. Prospective students wishing to request accommodations are required to provide documentation from a qualified authority such as physician or government recognized disability coordinator. Providing information regarding a disability is confidential, is considered to be voluntary and may be considered if reasonable. Authoritative documentation of the disability must have been made within the past five years. There are no guarantees accommodations will be made.
From the College Navigator Website: “College Navigator is a free consumer information tool designed to help students, parents, high school counselors, and others get information about over 7,000 postsecondary institutions in the United States – such as programs offered, retention and graduation rates, prices, aid available, degrees awarded, campus safety, and accreditation.”
College Scorecard
The College Scorecard was was designed in order to give potential students and families with the most consistent and up to date information through an interactive tool that helps to choose a program of higher education, based upon their individual needs. Each student who pursues higher education may have different needs for their appropriate institution. These may include location, size, campus setting, and degree and major programs. Each Scorecard includes five key pieces of data about a college: costs, graduation rate, loan default rate, average amount borrowed, and employment.
