Student education records are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which safeguards against the public posting of any personally identifiable information without student’s written consent. This information includes, but it is not limited to, academic performance.
Instructors may only post academic performance information by obtaining the student’s written permission, or by using code words or randomly assigned numbers that only the instructor and the student know. Posting of academic performance data must be in random order.
Upon enrollment, students are asked to provide permission to post academic performance information utilizing a personal identification number known to the student and the College. Permission/denial slips are part of the student’s permanent record and are placed on file with the Registrar.
The Registrar will provide instructors with the names of students who have requested their academic performance information not be posted. These students will make arrangements with their instructors to have their academic performance information provided to them.
All course syllabi must include a test score posting statement. Students may choose at any time to retract permission to have academic performance information posted by filing a new permission/denial slip with the Registrar.
Email dissemination of individual academic performance information is not permitted.
