Any record maintained by the college that is related to the student with some narrowly defined exceptions: • Records in the “sole possession of the maker” (e.g., private advising notes) • Law enforcement records created by a law enforcement agency for that purpose • Employment records (unless the employment is based on student status). The employment records of student employees (e.g., workstudy, and wages) are part of their education records. • Medical/psychological treatment records (e.g., from a health or counseling center) • Alumni records (i.e., those created after the student has graduated) Information Students Can See The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act also gives a student the right to inspect his or her education records (hard copy and electronic) and to request amendment of those records if they are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights. To inspect his or her education records, a student must file a written request with the individual who has custody of the records that the student wishes to inspect and the request must be honored within 45 days after the records custodian receives it. To request amendment of his or her records, a student first discusses the matter informally with the records custodian, and if the custodian does not agree to amend the records, he or she will inform the student of applicable appeal rights. Students also have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education alleging that the institution has not complied with FERPA.
