These guidelines are to set forth procedures for implementing Winthrop University's policy on student rights as defined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as Amended. The policy is contained in the undergraduate and graduate catalogs.
All students have the right to review their education records.
Definition of Student Any person who attends or has attended Winthrop University. Records maintained by our law enforcement office, the department of public safety, that were created by this office for the purpose of law enforcement. Records relating to individuals who are employed by the institution, which are made and maintained in the normal course of business, relate exclusively to individuals in their capacity as employees, and are not available for use for any other purpose. Students will be notified of their rights annually through the policy contained in our catalogs. Procedure to Inspect Education Records Students may inspect and review their education records upon written request to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official.
