RELEASE OF STUDENT INFORMATION

The policy of the college with respect to release of information concerning students is based on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). This law indicated that all portions of a student's educational record are confidential and cannot be forwarded to or viewed by a second party without written consent of the student. The law does allow authorized college personnel access to information contained in the records for facilitating internal college operations, promoting the student's education and reporting to local, state, and federal agencies. Complete college policy concerning release of information about students is available upon request from the admissions office.
