FERPA

Mount Union在此策略中使用以下定义:

学生:任何现在就读或曾经就读本校的人.

教育记录:任何形式的记录(手写), taped, print, film or other medium) which is maintained by the University and is directly related to a student, with the following exceptions:

1. personal records kept by a University staff member if the record is not revealed to others and is kept in the sole possession of the staff member;
2. student employment records that relate exclusively to the student in the capacity of an employee;
3. records maintained separately from educational records solely for law enforcement agencies of the same jurisdiction;
4. 由大学牧师或大学辅导员保存的咨询记录;
5. medical records maintained by the University solely for treatment and made available only to those persons providing treatment; and
6. Office of Alumni Activities records.

A student shall have the right, 受抚养学生的父母可能有这个权利, to do the following:

1. 检查和审查学生的学习记录;
2. Request that the student's education records be amended to ensure the records are not inaccurate, misleading, 或以其他方式侵犯学生的隐私或其他权利;
3. Consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's educational records, 除非FERPA在未经同意的情况下授权披露;
4. File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning the failure of the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA; and
5. 向教务处索取大学学生档案政策的副本.

Students may inspect and review their education records upon request to the appropriate record custodian(s). Students must submit a written request that identifies as precisely as possible the record(s) the student wishes to inspect.

查阅将在收到书面请求后45天内提供. Information contained in educational records will be fully explained and interpreted to students by University personnel assigned to, and designated by, the appropriate office.

学生档案保存在下列办事处:

1. 教务处的录取和学业记录;
2. 学生金融服务办公室的经济援助记录;
3. 商务事务办公室的财务记录;
4. 系办公室和教员办公室的进度和建议记录;
5. 学生无障碍服务办公室与残疾有关的记录;
6. 牧师和咨询服务办公室的咨询记录;
7. 教务处学术失信记录;
8. 学生事务办公室的纪律和学生行为记录.

The University reserves the right to refuse to permit a student to inspect the following information:

1. 学生家长的经济状况证明;
2. 学生放弃访问权的推荐信;
3. 未被协和山大学录取或就读的申请人的记录;
4. 包含一个以上学生信息的记录, in which case the University will permit access only to that part of the record which pertains to the inquiring student; and
5. 在FERPA教育记录定义之外的记录.

Students have the right to challenge the content of their education records if they consider the information contained therein to be inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate. This includes an opportunity to amend the records or insert written explanations by the student into such records. The student may not initiate a FERPA challenge of a grade awarded unless it was inaccurately recorded; in such cases the correct grade will be recorded.

希望对其教育记录内容提出质疑的学生必须提交, in writing to the appropriate office, a request for a hearing which includes the specific information in question and the reasons for the challenge.

Hearings will be conducted by a University official who does not have a direct interest in the outcome of the hearing. Students will be afforded a full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the reasons for the challenge. 听证主任将以书面形式作出决定, within a reasonable period of time, 注意原因并总结所有证据.

听证结果有利于该学生的，应当修改笔录. Should the request be denied, an appeal may be made, in writing, and submitted to the Office of the Registrar within 10 days of the student's notification by the hearing officer. The appeal shall be heard by an Appeals Board of three disinterested senior University officials. 董事会将在合理的时间内以书面形式作出决定.

如果上诉决定对学生有利，记录应相应修改. Should the appeal be denied, the student may choose to place a statement with the record commenting on the accuracy of the information in the record and/or setting forth any basis for inaccuracy. 只要学生的记录由学校保存, 当向授权方披露时, 记录将总是包括学生的陈述和董事会的决定.

The University will disclose "non-directory" information contained in a student's educational record only with written consent of the student, with the following exceptions:

1. to school officials, including teachers, who have a legitimate educational interest in the record;
2. 致该学生寻求或打算入读的另一所学校的官员;
3. 法律规定的联邦、州和地方机构和当局;
4. to the parents of an eligible student if the student is claimed as a dependent for income tax purposes;
5. accrediting organizations;
6. 服从司法命令或合法发出的传票;
7. emergencies affecting the health or safety of the student or other persons; and
8. as otherwise permitted by FERPA.
9. 任何学生如欲授权父母一方或双方公布其成绩，应
10. 在注册主任办公室填写一份披露表格.

目录信息的披露通常不需要学生的同意. Directory information includes the student's name; school and permanent addresses; school, permanent and cellular telephone numbers; school mail box address; school email address; date and place of birth; majors and minors; dates of attendance; enrollment status; class level; degree(s) received and dates of conferral; honors and awards earned; previous institutions attended; weight and height of athletes; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; and photograph.

A student who wishes to have all directory information withheld must submit an 'Authorization to Withhold Directory Information' form to Office of the Registrar. The hold will become effective the first day of class in the next regular semester (Fall or Spring). Once filed, this request becomes a permanent part of the student's record until the student instructs the Office of the Registrar in writing to have the request removed. Because the University's computer system is unable to put a "hold" on selective directory information, 所有的目录信息将被搁置, 或所有的目录信息，除了姓名和电子邮件地址将被搁置. Moreover, this request does not restrict the release of this information to individuals and agencies listed in "Disclosure of Education Records" above.
