Access to Student Academic Records

As further described below, student records are accessible to the student, advisors, and other faculty and staff who must have access to perform their jobs. Faculty may see the records of their own advisees and students, but no changes to the records may be made except through The Registrar’s Office.

All current and former students have the right to inspect and review official academic records maintained by the College that directly relate to them. Requests to inspect or review student records should be made directly to the Registrar’s Office. This request should specifically identify the records sought for review. An attempt to provide access to these records will be made as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) days after the request has been made. In addition, the holder of the record will provide, at the student’s request, an explanation or interpretation of any material contained in a student’s file. Copies of any student records may be furnished to the student for a reasonable cost to defray the expense of duplication. Any inspection or review of student records must be made in the presence of Registrar’s Office personnel. Students may not change or alter their records. Any agreed- upon change will be made by the Registrar’s Office. Students wishing to challenge the content of their records can do so, either informally with the Registrar’s Office or formally through a challenge hearing.
