Under the law, directory information may be released by the College without the student's consent. If a student does not desire such directory information to be released, a request in writing must be filed within two weeks after the beginning of each semester with the Registrar's Office. Release of information other than directory information normally requires written permission from the student. The College may release non-directory information without consent in specific cases as outlined in College policies. Northeast maintains a record of all disclosures, and if a student so requests, a copy of the disclosure will be given to the student.
Students have the right to inspect their educational records.
Parents of students under 18 years of age have the same rights of access under the law. The College will not withhold a student's record from a student or eligible parent who has properly requested information under the conditions described in College policies and presented valid identification. A student has the right to request an amendment of their record, obtain a hearing related to their record, or add a statement to their record. An individual who believes that he or she has been denied the right to view appropriate records may appeal the decision with the Vice President of Student Services through the student grievance procedure.
