College Policies – Student Records

(Refer to Policy C 6.8.100 or WAC 132Y-126)

Purpose.

The college shall establish and enforce guidelines, which are in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 (Buckley Amendment) concerning the information, which becomes a part of a student’s permanent educational records and governing the conditions of its disclosure. Except as otherwise indicated in the procedural guidelines, the college will not provide information contained in student educational records in response to inquiries from either within or without the college unless the expressed consent of the student has been given. Inquiries from relatives, other students, faculty, and staff, acting as private persons or members of extra-college groups or organizations, will be defined as coming from outside the college. Exception will be made in the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the educational records of a student to appropriate parties in connection with an emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individual.
