At midterm, unofficial grades of C- and below are submitted by instructors of unsatisfactory progress in those courses. No permanent record entry is made of midterm grades. Students are encouraged to meet with professors to discuss their work and to learn what may be required to perform satisfactorily. Students in good standing who have met all financial obligations may obtain student copies of their complete transcripts without charge. Requested official copies bearing the seal and signature of the registrar are sent directly to the designated employer, agency, or graduate school only at the written request of the student.
Federal law requires that the request be signed in writing.
When a student is enrolled at an institution of higher learning, a substantial amount of personal information and educational data is collected, maintained, used and disseminated. The College recognizes and desires to protect the rights of privacy of the student over the age of eighteen, providing access to his or her educational data, and the right to challenge the contents of his or her records for inaccurate or misleading information. In general only those persons directly involved in the educational process have access to the student's records unless the student gives written permission to release the information. The College maintains a complete policy statement in accord with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, obtainable from the registrar's office. The academic community places high value on intellectual honesty.
