With certain exceptions, students may review records which pertain directly to them upon request and may obtain a copy of the record at cost, according to the following schedule. The major exceptions to student review are medical and counseling records. These may be released, however to other medical or psychological professionals at the written request of the student and may be inspected by the patient at the discretion of the professional staff. Other exceptions are law enforcement records, private notes of staff members, and financial records of parents. A student may waive the right to review a specific record by submitting in writing a statement to this effect to the official responsible for that record.
Examples are recommendations for career placement or admission to graduate study.
