Henley-Putnam University complies with the protections established under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, also known as the Buckley Amendment, grants students protection rights of their student education records. Under the provisions of this law, students are entitled to the following privileges:
- Inspection and review of the student’s educational records
- Request of amendments to the student’s records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy or other rights.
- Consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s educational records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
- File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Henley-Putnam University to comply with FERPA requirements in the instance that a complaint cannot be resolved within the University.
However, FERPA allows schools to disclose student records, without consent, to the following parties:
- School officials with legitimate educational interest
- Other schools to which a student is transferring
- Specified officials for audit of evaluation purposes
- Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student
- Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school
- Accrediting organizations
- Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies
- State and local authorities
Release of student “directory” information is also permitted by FERPA. Henley-Putnam University identifies “directory” information as name, address, telephone number, email address, date and place of birth, honors and awards, dates of attendance, major field of study, enrollment status, previous institutions attended, photograph or other comparable information.
Personally identifiable information (or non releasable information) includes all information not defined as directory information and may not be released without expressed written consent of the student. Students may control the release of directory information by notifying the Registrar’s Office at Henley-Putnam University in writing. Upon receipt of this request, a Privacy Hold will be placed on the student’s record.
