ANNUAL NOTIFICATION TO STUDENTS

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:

  • The right to inspect and review the student’s education records. Students should submit to the appropriate official written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect
  • The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading. 

  • The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

  • The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office 
U.S. Department of Education 
400 Maryland Avenue, SW 
Washington, DC 20202-5902

  • The College will make the following directory information available to those parties having a legitimate interest in the information: name, attendance dates (periods of enrollment), address, telephone number, date and place of birth, photograph, e-mail address, full- or part-time status, enrollment status (undergraduate, graduate, etc.), level of education credits completed, major field of study, degree enrolled, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, height and weight of athletic team members, previous school(s) attended, and degrees, honors and awards received. A student may request that directory information not be released by completing a form available at the Registrar's Office.
