One exception which 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. Upon request, the University discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Parents of students and eligible students have the right to refuse to permit the designation of any or all of the above information as directory information. Any parent or student refusing to have any or all of the designated directory information disclosed must file written notification to this effect with this institution at the Office of the Babcock School Registrar on or before September 1 of the current academic semester.
Forms are available at that office.
If a refusal is not filed, Wake Forest assumes that neither a parent of a student or eligible student objects to the release of the directory information designated.
