花椒直播

Policies & Procedures

The 花椒直播 complies fully with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).  FERPA permits access to education records by eligible students or by parents of dependent students. Dependent student is defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue code of 1954.  If dependent status is documented and upon written request of the parent and prior notification to the student, education records may be released.

Student Rights

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records.  An eligible student under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution at any age. These rights include: 

1. The right to inspect and review the student鈥檚 education records within 45 days after the day the 花椒直播 receives a request for access.  A student should submit to the Registrar, Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect.  The 花椒直播 official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.  If the 花椒直播 official to whom the request was submitted does not maintain the records, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student鈥檚 education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student鈥檚 privacy rights under FERPA.  A student should write the 花椒直播 official responsible for the record, clearly identifying the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed.  If the 花椒直播 decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University of Saint Mary official will notify the student in writing of the decision and advise the student of the right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.  Additional information regarding the hearing process will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information (PII) contained in the student鈥檚 education records, 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 a person employed by the 花椒直播 in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University of 花椒直播 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/her tasks.  A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his/her professional responsibility for the 花椒直播. 
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the 花椒直播 to comply with the requirements of FERPA.  The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:  Student Privacy Policy Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave, SW, Washington, DC 20202.
