THE FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 permits enrolled university students access to certain credent ials in their files. Biol □ University has long permitted access for the student to his previous educational records such as high school transcripts and college transcripts (if atransfer), his SAT or ACT scores and his educational record at Biol □ University. Because of the importance of preserving the confidentiality of letters of recommendation the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act permits an educational institution to suggest an applicant may wa ive his right to access to letters of recommendation. Signing such awaiver is not required as acondition for admission, receipt of financial aid form or receipt of anyother services or benefits from Biala University. In order that Biol □ University may have valid recommendat ions it is suggested that the applicant consider waiving his right ta see such letters of recommendation. Please be assured that letters of recommendation (along with transcripts, SAT/ACT scores, and your awn application) are used solely to determine an applicant's qualification for admiss ion. Biol □ University will furnish (upon the applicant's request) the names of all individuals supplying references. However, the applicant usually knows the identity of those to whom he gives the reference forms. Signing the waiver statement on the reference form is all that is necessary on your part.
