2009-2010 FERPA Notification to Students
(Formerly Buckley Amendment)

Dear Student:

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) gives you certain rights with respect to your education record.

As a college student you have the following rights:

• to inspect and review your education records (does not include personal notes from advisors, counselors and deans, parents' financial information, University Police records or educational research data for federal, state and local purposes).
• to request an amendment of your education record
• to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent
• to file with the U.S. Department of Education a complaint concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

You can restrict the release of Directory Information by completing the FERPA Restriction form and returning it to the Center for Enrollment Services by the end of every spring semester.

When this restriction is applied to your record, it also prevents your name from appearing on the dean's list, graduation lists and other university-related publications.

If you have any questions about this notification, please contact the Registrar at kmorris@po-box.esu.edu.

Thank you.
