The University of Minnesota is committed to the policy that all persons shall have equal access to its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, or sexual orientation. In accordance with regents' policy on access to student records, information about a student generally may not be released to a third party without the student's permission. The policy also permits students to review their educational records and to challenge the contents of those records. Students may prevent the release of public information only during their terms of enrollment. To do so, they must notify the records office on their campus.
Students have the right to review their educational records.
The regents' policy, including a directory of student records, is available for review at 150 Williamson Hall, Minneapolis, and at records offices on other campuses of the University. Students born after 1956 who take more than one University class are required under Minnesota law to submit an Immunization Record form. The form, which is sent along with the official University admission letter, must be filled out and returned to Boynton Health Service within 45 days of the first term of enrollment in order for students to continue registering for classes at the University. Complete instructions accompany the form. No extracurricular events requiring student participation may be scheduled from the beginning of study day to the end of finals week.
