Confidentiality of Student Records
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
of 1974, Lee University students have the right to review, inspect, and
challenge the accuracy of information kept in a cumulative file by the
university unless the student waives the right. The law further ensures
that records cannot be released except in emergency situations without
the written consent of the student other than the following:
1. to other school officials, including faculty within the educational institution
who have legitimate educational interest;
2. to officials of other schools in which the student intends to enroll,
upon condition that the student be notified of the transfer, receives a
copy of the record if desired, and has an opportunity for a hearing to
challenge the content of the record;
3. to authorized representatives of (1) the Comptroller General of the
United States, (2) the Secretary of Education, (3) an administrative
head of an educational agency or (4) state educational authorities;
4. in connection with a student’s application for, and receipt of, financial
aid; and
5. in cases of information classified as “directory information.” The
following categories of information have been designated by the
university as directory information: name, address, telephone listing,
e-mail address, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation
in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of
members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards
received, and the most recent previous educational institution attended
by the student. If the student does not wish such information
released without consent, the student should notify the Office of
Student Records prior to the first day of classes each semester.
