Student Records
Student records are housed in the Admissions and Records Office in

privacy is assured in part by federal law. The Family Education Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and its amendments specify the types
of student information, which can be released to the public, including
parents and spouses, without the student's expressed consent. In general,
one of the stipulations of this right to privacy is that instructors
do NOT post grades or release grades to anyone other than the student.
Instructors should check with division chairs before releasing or publishing
any information about students.
