Notification of Rights Under FERPA
家庭教育权利和隐私法案(FERPA)为学生提供了有关其教育记录的某些权利. These rights are:

1. 有权在学校收到访问请求之日起45天内检查和审查学生的教育记录. Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. 大学官员将安排访问,并通知学生可以检查记录的时间和地点. 如果提交请求的大学官员没有保存这些记录, 该官员应告知该学生应向其提出请求的正确官员.

2. 有权要求修改学生认为不准确或误导的教育记录. 学生可以要求学校修改他们认为不准确或误导的记录. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, 大学将通知学生有关决定,并告知学生他或她有权就修改请求举行听证会. 有关听证会程序的其他信息将在通知学生有权参加听证会时提供给学生.

3. 有权同意披露包含在学生的教育记录中的个人身份信息, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is defined as a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. 如果学校官员为了履行其职业责任而需要审查教育记录,则学校官员具有合法的教育利益.

Upon request, 大学未经学生寻求或打算入学的另一所学校的官员同意而披露教育记录.

大学可以在未经学生同意的情况下披露学生记录的其他例外情况包括:如果学生是根据《ebet真人娱乐下载》定义的父母的受抚养人, the University may choose to disclose records of the student to the parent. If a student is under 21 years of age, 学校可以向学生家长提供有关学生违反酒精和药物规定的信息. 大学可能会向性侵犯的学生受害者提供有关学生纪律处分结果的信息.

4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. 就大学涉嫌未能遵守FERPA的要求向教育部提出申诉. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Independence Avenue, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20202-4605
