Know Before You Enroll is a public awareness education campaign that highlights abuses at proprietary and for-profit schools and encourages New Yorkers to research training programs, explore free and low-cost education options, be careful of taking on a large amount of school debt, get help understanding school contracts, and report negative experiences. Know Before You Enroll was launched in November 2011 as a partnership between the former Mayor’s Office of Adult Education (MOAE) and the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) Office of Financial Empowerment.
