Consumer Information

The U.S. Department of Education requires schools to provide consumer information about educational programs and the school’s success.

This information helps students and families make informed decisions when selecting a college and ensures that the college delivers the services promised.

Much of the disclosure information is available across Southeastern Community College’s departmental web pages. This page serves as a central resource linking to all required consumer information.

Constitution Day

On September 17, 1787, thirty-nine men from twelve of the original thirteen states signed one of America’s most important founding documents, the Constitution of the United States. In 2004, United States Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia spearheaded legislation to designate every September 17 as “Constitution Day.” The legislation requires that each educational institution receiving federal funds hold a program for students on or near September 17 to commemorate Constitution Day.

The United States Constitution created our federal system of governance, with power separated among three branches: the legislative branch, which makes the laws; the executive branch, which enforces the laws; and the judicial branch, which interprets the laws. By design, each branch of the federal government is subject to checks and balances from the other two branches. The Constitution also safeguards personal liberties through the Bill of Rights—the first ten amendments to the Constitution.

Each year on Constitution Day, Southeastern Community College celebrates America’s foundation story by commemorating what is now the world’s oldest and longest-lived national constitution.
