Please note the following federally-required announcements and notices that Gulf Coast State College must disclose about its TRiO programs:
- The contents of °®¶¹´«Ã½â€™s TRiO webpages, along with any printed publication materials (e.g., books, reports, or films) we separately disseminate, were developed under grants provided by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). However, ED does not mandate or prescribe practices, models, or other activities described or discussed in our documents. The contents of our materials may contain examples of, adaptations of, and links to resources created and maintained by another public or private organization. ED does not control or guarantee the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, or completeness of this outside information. In addition, the content of our publications do not necessarily represent ED policy. Our publications are also not intended to represent the views or policy of, or be an endorsement of any views expressed or materials provided by, any Federal agency.
- Because our programs are supported in whole or in part by financial assistance from
the U.S. Department of Education, we are required to provide you the following information:
(1) We may not discriminate against you on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice.
(2) We may not require you to attend or participate in any explicitly religious activities (including activities that involve overt religious content such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization) that may be offered by our organization, and any participation by you in such activities must be purely voluntary.
(3) We must separate in time or location any privately funded explicitly religious activities (including activities that involve overt religious content such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization) from activities supported with direct Federal financial assistance.
(4) You may report violations of these protection, including any denials of services or benefits by an organization, by filing a written complaint with the U.S. Department of Education at BeneficiaryNoticeComplaints@ed.gov.
