We collect contact information such as name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and company information such as company name and Web site URL. This information is used to follow-up on requested information, generate invoices as required, and to conform to the rules of operation as outlined by our accrediting agency.

We use email links located on the "contact us" page and other areas of the site to allow you to contact us directly with any questions or comments you may have. We read every message sent in and try to reply promptly to every one. This information is used to respond directly to your questions or comments.

Self-assessment Surveys:

Aspen University makes a series of self-assessment surveys available to prospective students to help them make decisions regarding their career and education. When you visit our site, you may voluntarily complete any or all of these surveys. The surveys solicit information that is electronically evaluated for the purpose of recommending career paths and determining whether distance education might be a good way for you to learn.
Your responses to the survey are saved in a database on the Aspen University server when you click the Submit button at the bottom of each survey page. However, no information identifying you as an individual is collected or stored. Therefore, your responses to the survey are completely anonymous. We have no way of knowing who generated which data or of contacting you. You will never receive any solicitation or other communication from Aspen University based on information provided in this survey, and Aspen will not sell or share this information with other individuals or organizations.
