Student Privacy Rights

Mills complies with the provisions of the 1974 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA assures students attending a postsecondary educational institution that they have the right to inspect and review certain of their educational records and to seek corrections of inaccurate or misleading data through informal or formal procedures. FERPA also protects student privacy rights by setting strict limits on disclosure of their educational records without their consent. Students can seek enforcement of their FERPA rights by filing complaints with the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, DC 20202-5920. Information about this office is available on the internet at http://www.ed.gov/offices/OM/fpco.

Copies of federal regulations governing student privacy rights are available from the website named above or the Division of Student Life (DSL) at Mills. A statement on procedural steps for seeking to correct inaccurate or misleading data in student records also is available from DSL on request at 510.430.2130.
