According to the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, the following is not considered directory information and may not be disclosed to a third party except with the written consent of the student or to a school official with a legitimate educational interest: – Student identification numbers
– Ethnicity/race/nationality – Social Security numbers – Gender
Students may withhold directory information by notifying the registrar’s office and filing a request for non-release within one week after the first day of class for the term. They may also protect a subset of this information, referred to as locator information, which includes: name, local address, and local telephone listing. As a result of placing a privacy restriction on directory and/or locator information, a student will not be included in the Davis College Student Directory and will not receive mailings from the Alumni Association. Only materials related to an educational program will be mailed to students. Access to Academic Records Students who wish to view their records should notify the registrar’s office by submitting a signed written request. An appointment will be made for the student to view the file within a reasonable amount of time (limited by law to 45 days). Students may receive copies of their records by submitting a signed written request. The fee for copies of educational records other than transcripts is $1.00 per page. Parents desiring to inspect and review the education records of the student should address a written request accompanied by a signed letter of permission from the student whose record is requested or a court order directing the release of the information to the parent to the registrar’s office. If records are found to be inaccurate, the students or parents shall have the opportunity to request a hearing to challenge the contents of any institution record. If students or parents desire to challenge such a record and a solution is not reached informally, they must do so by filing a written request with the registrar’s office. A committee appointed by the president of Davis College will conduct the hearing within 30 days of the written request. Students will have a full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the issues raised. A decision shall be rendered in writing within two weeks of the conclusion of the hearing. If the decision of the review committee is unsatisfactory to the students or parents, they may place record statements with Davis College commenting on the information in the records stating the reasons for disagreeing with the decision.
