Students have the right to inspect and review, in the presence of the appropriate record official, any records, files, and data primarily and directly related to the student. In order to inspect one’s file, the student should go to the appropriate records office (Admissions, Records, Director of Financial Aid, or Vice-President of Financial & Administrative Services) and present a written request. If the student cannot personally appear, a notarized request to the appropriate records office is acceptable. The request for inspection shall be granted within forty-five (45) days after the request has been received. The records official will determine if copies of the documents are required.
The right of inspection does not include:
- Financial records of the parents of the student or any information contained therein;
- Confidential letters and statements of recommendation that were placed in the education records before January 1, 1975. If such letters or statements are not used for purposes other than those for which they were specifically intended, or,
- Other confidential records, access to which has been waived by the student.
