FERPA Rights and Notification of Access to Educational
Records
The Chicago-Kent Student Handbook outlines the academic
and administrative regulations governing students at Chicago-Kent.
The following sections have been excerpted to provide information
on student rights and responsibilities regarding access
to educational records. You should read the full text of
the student handbook.
Section 14.4 Privacy Rights and Access to Educational
Records
Chicago-Kent College of Law respects the rights of privacy
of its students and acknowledges the responsibility to maintain
confidentiality of personally identifiable educational records.
The law school will comply with The Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights
with respect to their education records. They are:
(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education
records within 45 days of the day the University received
a request for access. Students should submit to the Registrar
a written request that identifies the records they wish
to inspect. The Registrar will make arrangements for access
and notify the student when the records may be inspected.
If the records are not maintained by the Registrar, the
Registrar will advise the student of the correct official
to whom the request should be addressed.
(2) The right to request the amendment of the student's
education records that the student believes are inaccurate
or misleading. Students may ask the law school to amend
a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading.
They should write the Assistant Dean for Academic Administration
and Student Affairs and identify the part of the record
they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.
If the Assistant Dean decides not to amend the record as
requested by the student, he will notify the student of
the decision and advise the student of his or her right
to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional
information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided
to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
(3) The law school has adopted a policy of not disclosing
personally identifiable information, other than directory
information, from the educational records of a student without
his or her prior written consent, except in the following
instances permitted under FERPA:
(1) To school officials, including teachers, within the
educational institution who have a legitimate educational
interest. A school official is a person employed by the
University or the law school in an administrative, supervisory,
academic or research, or support staff position (including
law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person
or company with whom the University has contracted (such
as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person
serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on
an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance
committee, or assisting another school official in performing
his or her tasks.
(2) To officials of another school in which the student
seeks or intends to enroll, provided that a documented attempt
will be made to notify the student of intended disclosure,
prior to submission of such
information;
(3) To certain authorized representatives of the United
States and state agencies who require such information to
carry out lawful functions;
(4) In connection with the student's application for, or
receipt of, financial aid;
(5) To organizations conducting studies for, or on behalf
of, educational agencies or institutions, if these studies
are conducted in a manner that will not permit the personal
identification of students and if the information will be
destroyed when no longer needed for the purpose for which
it is conducted;
(6) To accrediting organizations in order to carry out
their accrediting functions;
(7) To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued
subpoena;
(8) To appropriate parties in health or safety emergencies;
(9) To parents of dependent Chicago-Kent students, as defined
in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Section 14.5 Directory Information
Students' local addresses and telephone numbers are published
in a Student Directory. If a student does not want his/her
name, address, or phone number published, the student must
complete a privacy form available in the Registrar's office.
When a student has authorized the publication of his/her
address and phone number in the Student Directory, that
information may be provided to others over the phone.
Chicago-Kent reserves the right to release at its own discretion
the following information: name of student; date and place
or birth; local address, phone number and e-mail address
of student; home address and phone number of student; enrollment
status and dates of attendance at Chicago-Kent; positions
held, place of employment and extension number of students

campus organizations and on teams, including offices held
in
such organizations; degrees earned, special awards and recognition
given; and all information requested by the Illinois Board
of Admissions to the Bar and bar exam officials of other
