The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 grants to students certain rights, privileges, and protections relative to individually identifiable student educational records which are maintained by the University. The University reserves the right to release education records to appropriate parties in a health or safety emergency or when the student's well being is of concern.
Students have the right to inspect their own individually identifiable educational records.
Students have the right to challenge information contained in individually identifiable educational records. The procedure is described in the policy statement referred to below. A copy of the policy describing the University's regulations implementing this act may be obtained at the Student Services Building on Lovett Avenue. 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 by third parties outside the University, directory information without written consent of the student.
