Information Requested
Río Hondo College seeks your assistance. In order to qualify for funds to supplement the programs and service you receive, the college applies for funding from other sources to help augment our state budget. To qualify for these new funds and to show the ethnic background of its students to the state of California – a requirement for funding – the college must be able to provide updated information about student ethnicity. Your individual information will remain private.
The college would normally have this information based on what you have provided Río Hondo in the past. However, the federal government has changed how it asks colleges to categorize this information. For one time only, we need you to tell us about your race and ethnicity. You should only need to update this information once, unless, of course, the government changes its reporting requirements again. Your individual information will remain private. Only aggregated data will be used.
Your help with this is appreciated.
