Student Right to Know
The Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act (Public Law 101-542), signed into law in November 1990 by the U.S. Department of Education, applies to institutions of higher education participating in federal financial assistance programs.
Under this policy, current and prospective students must be informed of completion rates of students seeking certificates, diplomas or degrees. The act also requires reporting of security policies and crime statistics to students, employees, and the U.S. Department of Education.

Stop Campus Hazing Act Transparency Report
As required by the Stop Campus Hazing Act, Horry-Georgetown College will publish a Campus Hazing Transparency Report, updated at least every six months, if a recognized or established student organization is found responsible for a hazing violation. This transparency report will only be published if there are such findings. Interested members of the campus community can also visit our Annual Security Report, which as of October 2026 will include statistics for reported hazing incidents that occur within our reporting jurisdiction consistent with federal law. Information about Horry-Georgetown Technical College’s anti-hazing policy and prevention efforts can be found on pages 10-11 in Policy 9.8.1.1, Campus Safety.
