Know Your Rights as a College Applicant

The National Association for College Admission Counseling has published a brochure outlining students' rights in the college admissions process.

These rights include:

- Freedom from high-pressure and/or misleading sales tactics on the part of admissions representatives
- Access to complete and accurate information about the cost of attending an institution
- Access to complete and accurate information about enrollment and withdrawal procedures, including refund procedures
- Information on the completion and graduation rates for enrolled students
- Information about 'transfer-out' rates (i.e., how many community college students successfully transfer to 4-year schools)
