Notification of Rights under FERPA for Postsecondary Institutions

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) gives students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:

  1. The right to inspect and review one’s educational records within 45 days of the day the College of Lake County receives a request for access. Students should submit to the Registrar, a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect

  2. The right to request the amendment of one’s educational records that one believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students must write to the Registrar, clearly identifying the part of the record they want changed and specifying why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the College of Lake County decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the college will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.

  3. 同意披露个人教育记录中包含的个人身份信息的权利,除非FERPA未经同意授权披露。允许未经同意披露的例子包括向具有合法教育利益的学校官员和有关方面披露,以保护学生或其他个人的健康和安全。学校官员是湖区学院雇佣的从事行政、监督、学术、研究或支持工作的人员(包括执法人员和卫生工作人员),是湖区学院与之签订合同的个人或公司(如律师、审计员或催收代理人);在校董会任职的人士;或在官方委员会任职的学生,如纪律或申诉委员会,或协助其他学校官员执行他或她的任务。教育局负责采取适当措施,只容许有合法教育利益的学校职员查阅个人档案。如果学校官员需要审查教育记录以履行他或她的职业责任,那么他就有合法的教育利益。根据要求,莱克县学院会在学生申请或打算入学的另一所学校的官员不同意的情况下公开教育记录。

  4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College of Lake County to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The office that administers FERPA is:

    Family Policy Compliance Office
    U.S. Department of Education
    600 Independence Ave., SW
    Washington, DC 20202-4605
