Parental Rights
At the postsecondary education level, parents have no inherent rights to access or inspect their child’s education records. Records, including progress, deficiencies, and grades may be released to parents only if they have been given a written release by the student or if the child is considered a dependent for tax purposes and a Parental Affidavit has been filed in the office of Registration and Enrollment Services. The Parental Affidavit is available on the Registration Forms page under FERPA forms.
Judicial Records
Student judicial records, containing information surrounding suspected violations of the Student Code of Conduct, are protected by FERPA. The Office of the Vice President of Student Services will only release information contained in College judicial records under the following conditions:
- Violations involving students under the age of 21 relating to possessing and/or consuming alcohol and/or drugs
- Serious health and safety concerns
- Students have signed a FERPA release with the Registrar’s Office.
