Confidentiality of Student Records
Confidentiality and access to student record information is controlled in accordance with the Family Educational Right and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and the implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R Part 99 to ensure confidentiality of student record information. Certain information classified as public or directory information may be released to the general public without prior written consent from a student. If the student requests non-disclosure of their records, their statement of non-disclosure is kept in their file and anyone using the system cannot release the information. Information is not released to third parties without the written consent of any student who requests non-disclosure of public or directory information.
In addition to FERPA, the College is in compliance with the Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, 16 C.F.R. Part 314, issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act, P.L. 106-102. These Standards are intended to ensure security and confidentiality of records and information.
