4-Year Institutions of Higher Education - Mandatory Disclosures for New and Prospective Students (Informed Enrollment Act)

Summary

By July 1 2027, every Maryland four‑year college that admits first‑time undergraduates must prominently display a link to the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard on its prospective‑student website, along with explanations of cost, graduation rates, salary and debt outcomes. The schools must also share this information during orientation, recruitment events, in materials, on social media each semester, and on their career‑center sites. If the federal Scorecard is discontinued, the Higher Education Secretary must notify the Legislative Services Department, ending the requirement.
