What are the responsibilities of college personnel regarding student records?
As a faculty or staff member, you have a legal responsibility under FERPA to protect the confidentiality of student educational records in your possession. You have access to student information only for legitimate use in the completion of your responsibilities as a College employee. Your access to student information, including directory information, is based on your faculty or staff role within the College. You may not release lists or files with student information to any third party outside of the College. Student educational records (other than directory information) may not be released without written consent of the student. Student information stored in electronic format must be secure and available only to those entitled to access that information. Questions regarding the release of information from student records should be referred to the Registrar’s Office at ext. 5090.
