Student Privacy Rights

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, sets forth requirements regarding the privacy of student records. FERPA governs:

1.      The release of education records maintained by an educational institution, and

2.      The access to these records.

As a student you have the right to:

·         Inspect and review your education records

·         Request amendment of your education records

·         Limit disclosure of some “personally identifiable information” known as directory information.

If you would like to review your education records, then you may complete the Request to Review Education Records form and submit it to the Registrar. An appointment will then be arranged for you to review your education records.

If you would like to amend your education record because you feel that something in your education records is inaccurate, then you may complete the Request to Amend or Remove Education Records form and submit it to the Registrar. The request will be considered and a notification of the decision will be made in writing to you.

If you would like to restrict the disclosure of directory information, then you may complete the Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information* form and submit it to the Registrar. Your directory information will be excluded from any requests made by external organizations.

Please feel free to contact the Registrar if you have any questions about your student privacy rights.
