The FTC's mandate to allow college students (and traditional adults) full, unfettered access to credit reports is a change for the better. We recommended to the FTC allow for links to flow through to www.annualcreditreport.com-- this was accomplished in March 2005.

UCMS would also like to recognize College administrators, student government officials, national and local legislators that supported “College Credit Card, Credit Healthy Month” in March.
