FERPA - Procedure to Inspect Education Records

Students may inspect and review their education records upon request to the office of the appropriate record custodian, hereafter referred to as record custodian. 

  • An official Request to Inspect Education Records form must be submitted to the appropriate record custodian(s).  Forms may be obtained from any record custodian identified below.
  • The request must specify and identify as closely as possible the desired records.
    1. At the time of the request, the student must provide proper identification (photo ID) verifying that they are the person whose record is being assessed.
    2. Inspection and review must be permitted within 45 calendar days from the receipt of the student's request. 
    3. The designated staff person(s) must supervise the review of the contents of the record with the student.
    4. Students will be free to make notes concerning the contents of their records but will not be allowed to remove any materials from the records or make copies (electronic or otherwise) of the records at the time of inspection.  When a record contains information about more than one student, the student may inspect and review only that portion of the record that relates to them.
    5. Some documents may be copied with a .50 per page fee.  Other materials, including but not limited to, transcripts from other schools, high school transcripts, letters or forms of recommendation for which you have waived your right to view, are not available to copy.
