ANNUAL
NOTICE TO STUDENTS The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. Those
rights are the following: 1. The right
to inspect and review the students education records within 45 days of the
day the University receives a request for access. Students should submit to
the registrar or appropriate dean, vice president, or other official written requests
that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will
make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where
the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University
official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student
of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. 2.
The right to request the amendment of the students education records
that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the
University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They
should write to the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify
the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or
misleading. If Marymount decides not to amend the record as requested by the
student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the
student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the requests for amendment.
Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the
student when notified of the right to a hearing. 3.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained
in the students education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes
disclosure without consent. One exception which permits disclosure without
consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests.
A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative,
supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including Campus Safety,
Alumni Office, and Student Health Center 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. A school official has a legitimate
educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order
to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, Marymount discloses
education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student
seeks enrollment or intends to enroll. 4.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning
alleged failures by Marymount University to comply with the requirements of FERPA.
The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is Family Policy
Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington,
DC 20202-4605 < back to top
PUBLIC
NOTICE DESIGNATING DIRECTORY INFORMATION Marymount designates the following
information contained in students education records as directory information.
Directory information may be disclosed by the University without the students
prior consent pursuant to the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). However, the University is not required to disclose
directory information and, therefore, carefully evaluates requests for information.
At Marymount University, directory information includes: the students name,
address, telephone number, e-mail address, date and place of birth, major field
of study, dates of attendance, grade level, enrollment status (undergraduate or
graduate; full time or part time), participation in officially recognized activities
or sports, height and weight of student-athletes, degrees, honors (including Deans
List) and awards received, and the most recent educational agency or institution
attended. Currently enrolled students may withhold disclosure of directory
information under FERPA. To withhold disclosure, students must meet with the University
registrar. Marymount University assumes that failure on the part of any student
to specifically restrict the disclosure of directory information indicates individual
approval for disclosure. Former students may not place a new request to restrict
disclosure of directory information on their education records, but they may request
removal of a previous request for nondisclosure. <

10 working days with the proposed dates for a hearing. If the complaint
is not resolved in the formal hearing, within five working days after the formal
hearing, the student may request in writing a meeting with the president. The
president will meet with the student within 10 working days and make the final
decision on the students complaint. <
