Accommodations should be made within a minimal and reasonable amount of time as determined by the Office of the Vice President for Health Affairs and Executive Dean. 20 U.S.C. 1232G, grants students in institutions of higher education the right of access to their educational records with the exception of confidential letters and statements of recommendation that the student has waived the right to inspect. Before disclosing any personally identifiable information, except directory information, the health science center must obtain written consent from the student unless allowed by law. Students who desire that all or part of their directory information not be released must submit a written request to the Office of the Registrar during the first 12 days of the fall semester. Forms for submitting the written request to withhold directory information are available in the student's fall registration packet and in the Office of the Registrar.
Students have a right to request amendment to their educational records to ensure their accuracy.
Students also have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the health science center to comply with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The UNT Health Science Center attempts to provide for all students an environment that is conducive to academic endeavor, social growth and individual self-discipline. Enrollment at the health science center is considered implicit acceptance of the rules, regulations, and guidelines governing student behavior promulgated by the institution, and the student is responsible for this information. In addition, all students are expected to familiarize themselves with the requirements of and obey all federal, state, and local laws. Any student who violates a provision of those laws is subject to disciplinary action, including expulsion, notwithstanding any action taken by civil authorities on account of the violation.
