Please check website for updated information Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act of 1974 Policy The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. The rights include: 1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> receives a request for access. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s 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 <strong>College</strong> in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the <strong>College</strong> 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 or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest, if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Student’s directory information is released only upon approval of the Administrative Director of Student Services. Students may request in writing to the Administrative Director of Student Services or his/her designee, that directory information not be released. Directory information includes one or more of the following: student’s name, birth date, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, number of units of enrollment, and degrees and awards received.
