The College is required by the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 to provide students annual notification of their FERPA rights. This Act, with which the institution fully complies, was designed to protect the privacy of education records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their education records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students will be notified by the publication of the regulations in the College Catalog/Student Handbook. FERPA information is available on the College’s website. A student who believes his or her FERPA rights have been violated can file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office at the U.S. Department of Education. Questions concerning the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act may be referred to the office of the Registrar.
