Student Records, Rights and Privacy

The university complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and as it appears in final form in 1976. This law protects the rights of students to review their own records and to challenge any of the content of the record. Grade records are kept in the Records Office, discipline records are kept in the Student Development Office, and financial records are kept in the Financial Aid and Accounting offices. Students may request access to their records in these offices.
The law also protects students from the unlawful disclosure of information about their academic performance, personal campus discipline, or financial status.
The law allows the disclosure of five classes of “directory information” as follows:
• Name, address, telephone number, dates of attendance, class and religious affiliation.
• Previous institution(s) attended, major field of study, awards, honors, degree(s) conferred, including dates.
• Past and present participation in officially recognized sports and activities, physical factors (height and weight) of athletes, date and place of birth.
• Schedule of classes.
• Photograph.
A student may request in writing to the records office that one or all of the five categories of directory information be restricted from publication. In no case will grade, discipline, or financial information be disclosed except in keeping with this law.
