PRIVACY OF STUDENT EDUCATIONAL RECORDS
The written institutional policy concerning the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (the Buckley Amendment) is housed in the Registrar's Office. The University is restricted in the release of certain student records without the prior written consent of the student.
However, the University can release directory information that includes such information as the student's name, address, telephone number, etc., without the student's permission. A student who does not want this information released must make a request in writing to the Office of the Registrar within two weeks after the first day of class. The request for nondisclosure must be filed each term of enrollment.
Students have the right to inspect and review information contained in their educational records. Students wishing to review their records must make a written request to the Registrar listing the item or items of interest. These records will be made available within 45 days of the request.
