Under this act, all official student records are considered confidential. The act applies to records of anyone who is enrolled as a student or has in the past been enrolled as a student of Gallaudet University or Gallaudet College.
Students have the right to inspect their own official records.
Corrections or challenges to records may be presented by the student in writing to the office maintaining the record. Each office responsible for an official student record must have a policy for how and when students may read, copy, and if necessary, challenge information in the record. Gallaudet University personnel who need particular information in order to perform their assigned duties may have access to these records. Information from a student record will be released upon written request of the student. Students who do not wish this information to be available may request in writing to have their names removed from the directory.
