Employees or agents of the University may not require a student to waive his or her right of access for receipt of University benefits or services. Procedures for Inspection and Review Requests to review records must be made separately, in writing, to each office maintaining records. That office has 45 days to respond to requests to review and inspect. However, arrangements will be made as expeditiously as possible. Information contained in education records will be fully explained and interpreted to students by University personnel assigned to, and designated by, the appropriate office.
Students have the right to review only their own records.
Right to Challenge Information in Records Students have the right to challenge the content of their education records if they consider the information contained therein to be inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate. This process includes an opportunity for amendment of the records or insertion of written explanations by the student into such records. Procedures for Hearings to Challenge Records Students challenging information in their records must submit, in writing, a request for a hearing to the appropriate office maintaining the record, listing the specific information in question and the reasons for the challenge. Hearings will be conducted by a University official who does not have a direct interest in the outcome of the hearing. Students shall be afforded a full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the reasons for the challenge, as referenced in item 5.
