Student Records

A student should submit to the Registrar, Dean, head of the academic program, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The college official will make the arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the college does not maintain the records official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

A student who wishes to ask the college to amend a record should write the college official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed and specify why it should be changed.

If the college decides not to amend the record as requested, the college will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

The College discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the college or its foundation in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position; a person or company with whom the college has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using college employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the District Board of Trustees or the Foundation Board of Directors; or a student or other person serving on an official committee, including without limitation a disciplinary, grievance, or scholarship committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record to fulfill his or her professional or official responsibilities for the college. Upon request, the college also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

If a student wishes to have their record remain confidential, they must make the request in writing or complete and submit the Confidentiality Form to student services director. The form is accessed through the Atlas account. A decision to refuse the release of information means the student’s name will not appear on any recognition lists such as President’s or Dean’s list or the Commencement Program.
