Grievance procedures for faculty and administrators are outlined in the Policy Handbook for Administration and Faculty. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 provides that the college will maintain the confidentiality of student records. CUC accords the rights under the law to students who are declared independent. Directory information may be given to a third party without the written consent of the student. Federal guidelines also allow the college to share academic information with college personnel and other institutions that may have legitimate educational interest in this information.
Students have the right to inspect and review their records kept by any office of the college.
Students wishing to review their records must make written requests to the administrator responsible for the record. Students may obtain from the Records office more detailed information about the act and college policies concerning it. Rights of Petition Students who feel they have valid reasons for requesting an exemption from, or an exception to, an academic, social, financial, or housing policy may submit a written petition to the appropriate committee. This petition must clearly state the request and must give supporting reasons. The chair of the committee will notify the student of the committee's decision.
