The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 grants to students certain rights, privileges, and protections relative to individually identifiable student educational records that are maintained by the University. Students have the right to inspect their own individually identifiable educational records. This right may be exercised by completing a request form in the Office of the University Registrar, Hullihen Hall. Students have the right to challenge information contained in individually identifiable educational records.
Procedure is described in the policy statement.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act permits the release of directory type information to third parties outside the institution without written consent of the student provided the student has been given the opportunity to withhold such disclosure. The University releases, upon inquiry to third parties outside the University, directory information without written consent of the student. Directory information includes name, address, telephone number, college, class major, dates of attendance, and degrees, honors, and awards conferred. While the withholding request may be made at any time, students wishing to have directory information withheld from the student directory should submit their requests no later than six weeks prior to the first day of fall semester classes.
