Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Student Information Presentation
(click for presentation)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of student records. It provides for the right to inspect and review education records, the right to seek to amend those records, and to limit disclosure of information from the records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. FERPA also provides students the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. Written complaints should be sent to:

Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Ave., S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20202-5920

FERPA allows the College to release student directory information to anyone who requests it unless the student specifically asks that this not be done. Requests to withhold release of information must be submitted in writing to the Registration and Records Office.

Information that HCC considers directory information includes:
  • Student Name
  • Photographs
  • Academic Honors and Awards
  • Program of Study
  • Dates of Enrollment
  • Full-Time/Part-Time Status
  • Degrees/Certificates Awarded
  • Participation in Officially Recognized Activities and Sports
SOLOMON AMENDMENT

The Solomon Amendment is a federal law that mandates that institutions receiving federal funding must give military recruiters access to campus and to lists of students, including personally identifiable student information. The Solomon Amendment supersedes FERPA.
