College Transparency Act establishes a postsecondary student data system to enhance transparency and data privacy.

The College Transparency Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to establish a postsecondary student data system. This system aims to provide accurate, complete, and customizable information for students and families, focusing on enrollment, retention, transfer, completion, and post-completion outcomes. The data system will include financial indicators, such as grant and loan aid by source, cumulative student debt, and loan repayment status. The Commissioner of Education Statistics will ensure data privacy and security, using modern technology and adhering to privacy-enhancing standards.
