THE FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT
The Family Education Rights and Privacy of 1974 permits en ro ll ed university stud ents access to certain credentials in their fil es. Bio la University has long permitted access for the student to hi s previous educational records such as high school tran scripts and coll ege transcripts (i f a transfer), his SAT or ACT scores and his educational record at Biola Unive rsity. Because of the importance of preserving the confidentiality o f letters of recommendati on the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act permits an educati onal institution to suggest an ap plicant may waive his right to access to letters of recommenda ti on. Signing such waiver is not required as a condition for ad miss ion , rece ipt of financial aid form or receipt of any o ther ser vices o r benefits from Biola University. In order that Biola Un ivers ity may have valid recommenda tions it is suggested that the app li cant consider waiving hi s right to see such letters o f recommendation. Please be assured that letters of recommendation (along with transcripts, SAT/ ACT scores, and your own application) are used solely to determine an applicant's qualificati on for admission . Biola Univers ity will furnish (upon th e apphcant's request) the names of all individu als supplying references. H owever, the app li cant usually knows the identity of those to whom he gives th e reference forms. Signing the waiver statement on the reference form is all that is necessary on your part.
