The Student--
Students have access to their own records as well
as the right to restrict the release of information, and to
request the amendment of records they believe to be inaccurate.
University Officials--
Professors, advisors, and administrative staff of the
University frequently need to view students' records in order to perform their
jobs professionally and responsibly. These
people have access to certain student information without written consent
from the student. University officials are
expected to use student information responsibly and safeguard against it's
exposure to non-officials.
Directories, Publications, Employers, Insurance
Companies--
Some information, such as permanent & local
addresses, date of birth, majors & minors, awards received, and dates of
attendance are considered to be "directory information", and may be released to requesting
parties without the students' expressed consent. If you do not wish this information to be released, you
should complete, sign and submit a "Restriction on Release of Information" form
at the Registrar’s office. These
restrictions will remain in force until you remove them.
Parents--
While parents understandably have an interest in a
student’s academic progress, they are not automatically granted access to a
student’s records without written consent of the student. Parents are encouraged to consult with the student if
academic information is needed. Please see
Information for Parents.
