Student education records are official and confidential documents protected by one of the nation's strongest privacy protection laws, 家庭教育权利和隐私法(FERPA). 教育记录, 根据FERPA的定义, include all records that schools or education agencies maintain about students. FERPA affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. 这些权利包括:
1. 查阅和审查其记录的权利. 学生 should 与注册主任办公室联系 to determine the location of appropriate records and the procedure for reviewing such records.
2. The right to request that records believed to be inaccurate or misleading be amended. The request should be submitted in writing to the University office responsible for maintaining the record. If the request for change is denied, the student has a right to a hearing on the issue.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records. 一般, the University must have written permission from the student before releasing 任何 information from the student's record. FERPA does however authorize disclosure without consent in certain situations. 例如, disclosure without consent can be made to school officials with a legitimate educational interest in the record.
A school official is a person employed by 体育菠菜大平台 in an administrative, 监督, 学术, research or support staff position; a person or comp任何 with whom 体育菠菜大平台 has contracted, such as National Student Clearinghouse or Constant Contact; a person serving on the Board of Regents; a student serving on an official committee (such as grievance or disciplinary committee) or assisting another school official in performing his/her tasks.
