This Privacy Notice describes our practices on the collection, processing, use, disclosure and storage of information about you. When you submit your information to us, use our websites or participate in our programs and services, your information will be handled as described in this Privacy Notice.  If you do not agree to the terms of this notice, please do not provide your information or otherwise use our site and/or services.

UNIVERSITY USE AND PROCESSING OF INFORMATION

Career Advancement will use information that you provide to us and information we collect about you to administer our career placement and preparation programs.

ONLINE PAYMENTS

We may collect credit card information from you for programs which require a program fee. A reputable third-party financial institution handles our credit card transactions.  Whenever you transmit credit card information through our site, the numbers and letters are scrambled using encryption technology to protect the information from being stolen or intercepted. To protect your security, we do not allow you to store your credit card number from session to session.

Unless you explicitly provide this information, we will not be aware of your identity. The cookies set can be classified as "performance cookies"— used to improve the speed, functionality, and usability for site visitors. Browsers give you the ability to reject specific cookies, or all cookies, if you choose. However, rejecting cookies may impact your ability to use certain features of the site.
