Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

In accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (P. L. 9-380)，经修正(P. L. 93 - 568 -巴克利修正案), persons of any age who attend a postsecondary educational institution that receives federal funding are hereby informed of the right to inspect and review their official education records. 博西尔教区社区学院 considers attendance to begin on the first day of classes. Students should submit to the Registrar or another appropriate College official written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. 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.

BPCC assumes that all students are independent unless the parents document dependence. Parents may so document by showing that the student is listed as a dependent on the parents’ latest income tax return. Additionally, all students are encouraged to fill out the FERPA存取代码表格 在被学院录取的时候. 如表格没有亲自递交, a copy of a state or federal ID must be submitted with this form when emailed or faxed.

BPCC is responsible for maintaining student records and supervising the release of any information on its students. All records that contain information directly relating to a student and are maintained by BPCC or by a party acting for the institution are considered part of the student’s permanent record. The academic records at BPCC are housed in the Registrar’s Office. The discipline records are housed in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for 学生服务. The Campus Police Log is housed in the office of the Chief of Campus Police. These records are used only for specified purposes. BPCC is committed to protect the right of privacy for all its students. When records are no longer pertinent to the student or the College, 根据学校的规定，他们会被销毁. Students are provided annual notification of FERPA rights in the 学生手册. The College cannot deny a student access to his/her records, but may deny a student a copy of his/her education records when the student has an unpaid financial obligation to the College or an unresolved disciplinary action against him/her.

法律规定的, the College may release directory information unless the student requests that any or all such information be withheld. Requests must be made to the 招生/Registrar’s Office by the end of the second week of class. The College identifies directory information as student’s name, 学号, 出生日期和地点, address, 电话号码, 电子邮件地址, 主修领域, and participation in officially recognized activities and sports, 包括学生运动员的身高和体重, 出席日期, 所获学位及奖项, 最近的在校出勤率, 和照片.

The College may release student education records without the written consent of the student:

  • To school officials who have a legitimate educational interest in the records. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, 监督, 安全, 学术或研究, or support staff position; or a student who is serving on an official committee, such as disciplinary or grievance 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 in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility;
  • To officials of another school, upon request, in which a student seeks or intends to enroll;
  • 对一些美国官员说.S. 教育部, 总审计长, and state and local education authorities in connection with certain state or federally supported education programs;
  • In connection with the student’s request for receipt of financial aid;
  • 如果州法律有要求;
  • 进行研究的组织;
  • To accrediting organizations to carry out their functions;
  • To parents who claimed the student for income tax purposes;
  • To comply with a judicial order or a lawful subpoena;
  • To appropriate parties in health or safety emergencies;
  • For directory information so designated by the College; or
  • 根据FERPA的许可.

教育记录更正

A student has the right to ask to have records corrected that he/she believes are inaccurate, 误导, 或者侵犯他/她的隐私权. A student must notify the 招生/Registrar’s Office or the Vice Chancellor for 学生服务 to request to amend the record.

If the College does not correct the student’s record, the student is entitled to a hearing before an impartial officer of the College. Students who feel that their rights have been abridged may file a complaint with The 家庭政策遵从处, U.S. 教育部.
