The Admissions Office maintains no files on RIT students. The office maintains student records associated with cooperative education placement activity and reference files in support of graduating student employment efforts. All records are available and accessible to students with the exception of those written references to which a student has voluntarily waived access in accordance with the standards established by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. These files are confidential. Files may be viewed by auditors, state, federal and internal personnel per regulations and program requirements.
Students have access rights to information they submitted as part of an application for aid.
Financial information submitted by parents and guardians will be released to students only by written parent or guardian request. Motor vehicle accident, personal property damage and theft initial incident reports can be released by Campus Safety to individuals. Campus Safety records that are forwarded to the Office of Student Conduct and Mediation Services become educational records and can be released through the Office of Student Conduct and Mediation Services in accordance with this policy. Campus Safety may release information it has concerning on-campus arrest by outside law enforcement agencies. Any questions concerning the Buckley Amendment as it applies at RIT or concerning RIT's policies on records should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
