All student records must be current and maintained with appropriate measures of security and confidentiality. The College is responsible for complying with all legal requirements pertaining to the maintenance, review and release of records retained by the College.

A. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) provides students with certain rights
to privacy of their educational records and rights of access by others to their educational
records. College employees are expected to fully comply with this Policy.
B. For purposes of this Policy, “student” means an individual who is or has been in attendance at the College. It does not include persons who have not been admitted, who have been admitted but did not attend the College or individuals enrolled solely in non-credit courses. “Attendance” starts when the individual matriculates or declares their intention to enroll at
the College, whichever comes first.

Executive Vice President for Instruction and Student Services, or his/her designee, is responsible for preparing and delivering this annual notice.
