在某些情况下, confidential (non-directory) education records can be released without a student's prior consent.
例如, to comply with a lawfully issued subpoena or to school officials who have a "legitimate education interest" (or a legal "right to know")
A Legitimate 教育al Interest exists when the school official is:
performing a task that is specified in his/her position description or contract;
performing a task related to a student's education or to student discipline;
providing a service or benefit to the student;
维护校园安全.
Records should be used only in the context of official business in conjunction with the educational success of the student
Curiosity does not qualify as a legal right to know.
At the post-secondary level, parents have no inherent rights to inspect a student's records.
The right to inspect is limited solely to the student.
在bet36365体育, information from the students records may be released to parents, 同性家庭伴侣, and others ONLY with the written consent of the student.
Check a student's directory restrictions before you answer any questions.
Information may be released with a signed consent from the student.
Information viewed on a computer screen should be treated with the same confidentiality as paper records.
当有疑问时,不要发布信息. Consult with the Office of the University 注册商.
"OOPS" is not acceptable when it comes to disclosure of education records!
