Private Postsecondary Education in Oregon, Student Resources

The HECC Office of Academic Policy and Authorization exists to support Oregon students. We oversee the quality, integrity, and diversity of private postsecondary programs in Oregon for the benefit of students and consumers.

Our student services include providing basic information on approved schools, intervening when a crisis occurs (such as in the event of a sudden school closure), securing transcripts of closed schools, investigating student concerns that are not resolved at the institutional level, and more.
