Security and Confidentiality Policy
The following persons or groups are authorized access to official records without student consent:
- College faculty members and other College officials with legitimate educational interests.
- College officials of other institutions in which the student seeks or intends to enroll.
- Authorized representatives of federal, state, or local government.
- Accrediting organization in order to carry out their accrediting functions.
- The privacy rights of an individual expire with that individual’s death. Accordingly, the disposition of records held by the College and pertaining to a deceased individual is not a FERPA issue but a matter of institutional policy. The College requires that an individual seeking records on a deceased student must complete the release form, submit an official death certificate, and submit documentation proving the requester is either a parent or guardian of the deceased student or an executor/executrix of the deceased student’s estate.
