Student Right to Know, Privacy & Records Policies

Student Right to Know Law
The Sage Colleges will provide information regarding graduation and persistence rates, in accordance with provision of the federal Student Right to Know Law. The information is available from the Office of the Registrar. In addition, The Sage Colleges publishes required information under the Campus Security Act in a safety and security brochure and posts the information on the Sage website. The brochure is available from the Office of Public Safety.

Privacy and Confidentiality

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment) passed in 1974 regulates the procedures for handling student records. According to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the Act was designed to ensure that students and parents (in cases where the student is considered a dependent) would have specific educational records made accessible for reasons of inspection and correction and to restrict the release of most records so as not to violate their privacy and confidentiality when student consent is lacking.

According to the Act, the following records are not accessible:

financial records of a students parents;

confidential letters of recommendation received prior to January 1, 1975;

confidential letters of recommendation for which the student has signed a waiver of access; and

records created and maintained by a professional for the sole purpose of treating the student (i.e., records kept by a college physician, psychiatrist, or counselor). The student may choose a qualified professional to review these records.

Access to Directory and Records Information

The College is permitted under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment) to make directory information about students available to the public. Directory information includes: the students name, address, telephone listing, e-mail address, photograph, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height (for members of athletic teams), dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency attended.

If a student would prefer that any or all of this information not be made public, the student may inform the College of this within the first month of his or her first semester of each academic year. Forms are available from the Registrars Office with which the student may inform the College what information they do not wish to be made public.

Records Inspection

The following student records are available for inspection at the specified locations:

Student Services	Transcript of grades*
	Grade lists*
	Academic warning, probation and suspension lists*
	Transfer credit records
	Degree information
	General student records
	Parking/traffic violations lists*
	Student payroll records
	Financial Aid files
Campus Life/Residence Life Offices	Judicial records
	Parking/traffic violations lists*
Dean's Office	Dean's List
Academic Support Center	HEOP records

* The entire content will not be released, only the data directly related to the individual requesting access.

Procedures for Review of Records

The Act specifies that a college official has 45 days to respond to a students request to view their records. The Sage Colleges will initially respond to a request by setting up an appointment with the student within the 45 day period. Ideally, the student will be able to access the records within a couple of weeks.

All records must be reviewed in the presence of a College official. The student may be asked to show proper identification to the college official and sign a permit form. Students may request a copy of their records in most cases, but the College is entitled to charge for copies. Copies cannot be made of records when a hold status exists or when the names of other students or information related to other students are involved (i.e., restricted records such as a grade list).

Inspection and Correction of Records

If a student wishes to challenge any part of a record, it may be done informally by addressing the issue with the administrator in charge of the record in question. If an agreement cannot be reached, the student should request a hearing with the Dean of the College. If the student still believes that his or her rights are being violated after following the above procedure, an investigation can be requested by the Review Board of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20202. An investigation could lead to a hearing.

Access to Records by Another Party

Each individual record will include the names of those persons not employed by the College who request or obtain access to a student record. The legitimate interest of the person making the request will also be recorded. The College permits third parties to gain access to students records when requests come from:

a person designated by the student with the students written consent;

an accrediting agency doing a college evaluation;

certain federal or state agencies;

parents of dependent students;

officials of other schools in which a student seeks acceptance or intends to enroll when the student requests that the information be released; or

other faculty members, administrators, or staff members who either seek access for a legitimate educational reason or who are required to handle the records as part of their official duties at the College.

Student records, except for the permanent transcript and certification of completion required for state licensure in some academic programs, are kept for a period of six years from the date of graduation or last attendance. The permanent transcript is maintained forever in the Office of the Registrar. The certification of completion, if required for licensure, is maintained in the academic program office.
