STUDENT PRIVACY
Under the provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, all students are guaranteed the right to the privacy of their records. Irvine Valley College, in compliance with this law, provides students access to specified official records of their work at the college. Students have the right to challenge the content of their records—including the grade they received in a class—on the grounds that it is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate. Those wishing to challenge the information in their files should contact the Vice President of Student Services, (949) 451-5214, Room A100, who will initiate a hearing.
Irvine Valley College will not release student records unless the college has received the student’s prior written consent except in the following circumstances:
1. Release will be made as required under the provisions of the Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act. The college will make public specific directory information, which includes a student’s name, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received by the student, and participation in officially recognized activities and sports programs. Additionally, athletes may have weight, height, and high school they graduated from released as needed.
2. Release will be made as required by the Solomon Act to the military services.
3. Release will be made to federal, state, and local government authorities as
required in the performance of official duties.
A standard fee of $15 has been established to cover the cost of furnishing copies of
some college records to the student. Students wishing to have a copy of other records will be charged the actual reproduction cost. Copies of transcripts of course work completed at other institutions must be obtained from those institutions. The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act applies to educational records only and does not include administrative records.
