Voter Registration
The 1998 Higher Education Act requires all postsecondary institutions to make a good faith effort to distribute voter registration information to all students. We are providing the following information about voter registration to assist you with signing up to vote. We hope that you find this information to be useful. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Regardless of your physical location during election years, you are encouraged to register to vote.
