 Choosing a college is an important decision that takes careful planning. The Minnesota Office of Higher Education recently launched MyHigherEd.mn.gov, a website to help students identify what they are looking for in a college, find the right institution in Minnesota, and learn about the financial aid options available to them.
This new online resource can also serve educators in guiding their students on their postsecondary path as early as possible. MyHigherEd’s College Search Tool offers an easy way to explore Minnesota postsecondary institutions to choose the right college for them. As students consider their options, MyHigherEd can serve as a trusted resource to prepare them for college.

U.S. Department of Education proposes amendments to Title IX regulations
The U.S. Department of Education released proposed changes to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) regulations that help schools and colleges implement this vital civil rights legislation. The proposed amendments aim to ensure full protection under Title IX for students, teachers, and employees from all forms of sex discrimination, including sex-based harassment and sexual violence, in federally funded elementary schools, secondary schools, and postsecondary institutions.
These proposed regulations will advance Title IX’s goal of ensuring that no person experiences sex discrimination in education, that all students receive appropriate support as needed to access equal educational opportunities, and that school procedures for investigating and resolving complaints of sex discrimination, including sex-based harassment and sexual violence, are fair to all involved. Click here to read more about the proposed changes.
60-Day Public Comment Period Open:
The public is invited to share their thoughts on the proposed changes to Title IX. Comments can be submitted at www.regulations.gov (Search register identification number 2022-13734) or click here for a direct link to submit a formal comment. The comment period will close on September 12, 2022.
Please note: The Office of Higher Education does not interpret the changes or make inferences of the effects of the proposed changes.
