Release of Student Information - FERPA Avila  University  is  in  compliance  with  the  Family  Educational  Rights  and  Privacy  Act (FERPA) of 1974. This Act, also known as the Buckley Amendment, helps protect the privacy of student records. The Act provides for the right to inspect and review educational records, to seek to amend those records, and to limit disclosure or information from the records. Official  student  records  are  maintained  in  the  Registration  and  Student  Records  Office. Students and parents of dependent students may request to review official educational records under the following procedure. 1.The  student  must  provide  a  written  request  to  review  the  education  record.  Written requests need to identify the record(s) requested for review. Parents of dependent students must supply evidence of the income-tax dependency of the student if the student does not sign a release. If the parent provides documentation, the academic advisor and/or instruc- tor will be notified. 2.An appointment to review the record will be set with the Registrar/Director of the Office or with the Associate Vice-President for Academic Affairs within 45 days of the date the University received the request. 3. If the student believes that inaccurate or misleading information is contained in the educa tional record, or that the information is in violation of the student’s rights of privacy, the student may submit a written request to the administrator of the office responsible for that record.  The written request submitted should include the part of the record that is believed to need changed and why it is believed the information is inaccurate, misleading, or in vio lation.  The university will investigate the request and notify the student of the decision.  If the record is not amended as requested, the student has the right to request a hearing.       Institutions may disclose information on a student without violating FERPA if they have des- ignated the information as “directory information.” At Avila University, this includes: a. Verification of enrollment status including full-time, part-time, graduate, undergraduate, and classification. b.Student name, major and minor fields of study, academic honors, and degrees. c. Student address, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers only in connection with campus events and to persons with legitimate reason. d.Dates of attendance. e. Participation in campus activities and sports. f. Weight and height of members of athletic teams.
