Family and Educational Rights and Privacy Act Policy (FERPA)

Family and Educational Rights and Privacy Act Policy

Fisher College complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regarding the access and release of student records and information. FERPA affords students certain rights with respect to their education records:

The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the College receives a request for access. Students should submit to the Registrar, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Site Coordinator, or other appropriate official written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The College official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the College official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading.

Students may ask the College to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the College official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.

If the College decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff ); a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Fisher College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education

600 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-4605

For the purpose of this Act, Fisher College defines all students as independent. A parent may be awarded the same rights as the student with regard to educational records and other confidential information only if:

the student signs a written consent to this effect, or
the parent supplies proof of dependency, as defined in section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which requires receipt of a certified copy of the parent's most recent Federal Income Tax Form.

The College does not release confidential information to outside parties without the student's written authorization except as required or permitted by law. Students must provide the College with a signed letter before any confidential information will be released. The following information should be included in the request:

Name
Address
Date of birth
Student ID or SSN
Attendance dates
Major
Address to which information should be sent
Signature

The following items, however, are considered "directory information" and may be released at the discretion of the College upon request.

Name
Address
Telephone number
E-mail address
Dates of enrollment
Academic major
Full- or Part-time status
Year of study
Resident status
Date of graduation or withdrawal
Degrees, certificates or awards earned
Participation in officially recognized sports or activities
Most recent educational institution attended by the student
Weight and height of members of athletic teams

Under the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, currently enrolled students have the right to withhold disclosure of directory information, except as authorized by law. To withhold disclosure, students should submit written notification to the College Registrar or Site Coordinator within 30 days of the student's initial semester or term at Fisher, and thereafter by September 30 of each subsequent academic year. Forms for this purpose are available in the Registrar's Office and at each campus of the Division of Accelerated and Professional Studies. A new form for non-disclosure must be completed each academic year. Fisher College assumes that failure by any student to request the withholding of directory information indicates approval for disclosure.

Student Grievance Procedure

Before invoking this Student Grievance Procedure, students must make a reasonable effort to resolve their issues or concerns amicably by communicating directly with the individual(s) involved. When attempts to resolve grievances through an open dialogue are unsuccessful, this Student Grievance Procedure may be invoked. The Student Grievance Procedure may be used to address any concern regarding an alleged violation of a student’s rights, including discrimination under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Instances in which the Student Grievance Procedure may be used include, for example, complaints regarding Fisher faculty, staff or other member of the Fisher College community or appeals of a policy decision made by a Fisher College official.

Failure by a student to comply with the Student Grievance Procedure during the course of a grievance shall result in the waiving of the student’s rights under the Student Grievance Procedure.

Utilizing the Student Grievance Procedure
If a grievance is not resolved directly and informally by the student, the student may file a written grievance complaint (the “Grievance”). The Grievance complaint must be filed within 10 calendar days from the last attempt to resolve the matter directly with the interested parties. All Grievances shall be filed directly with the Dean of Students by certified mail, regular mail or in hand.

The Dean of Students or the Vice President for Academic Affairs, as appropriate, shall request a written response from the individual involved and immediately begin a full, fair and impartial investigation into the Grievance. If needed, meetings will be scheduled individually or jointly with the student and the faculty/staff member/individual that is the subject of the complaint. Witnesses may be asked to provide a written statement or meet during the investigation. The investigation will be kept confidential to the extent possible. Upon completion of the investigation the Vice President for Academic Affairs or Dean of Students will issue a decision regarding the Grievance.

The decision of the General Counsel or his/her designee shall be final and binding.

No Retaliation
No member of the Fisher College community shall retaliate or threaten to retaliate against, interfere with, restrain, or coerce any student in the exercise of his/her rights under the Student Grievance Procedure or due to his/her participation in any grievance proceedings whether as a complainant, witness or otherwise.
