The Higher Education Opportunity Act requires institutions participating in federally funded financial aid programs to make information about the institution available to the public, current and prospective students, current and prospective student loan borrowers, and current employees. Southwestern Oklahoma State University is committed to the principle of promoting access to information that will allow consumers to make informed decisions about post-secondary education. The links in this site provide readily accessible consumer information to help students, parents, employees and the university community make informed decisions about higher education.
