Record keeping and Confidentiality
The Family Education Records Privacy Act (FERPA) governs the release of information pertaining to a student鈥檚 disability. Information about a student's accommodation is released only to those university employees with an educational need to know in order to perform the duties of their jobs, including:
- Accessibility Resources and Services staff
- other university employees as determined by the student鈥檚 particular situation.
The university does not need the student鈥檚 permission to release information about his or her need for accommodations to those university employees with an educational need to know the information to perform essential elements of his or her job. Generally, information regarding a student鈥檚 approved accommodations is released to the mentors or tutors the student is studying with each term.
Recordkeeping and a Student's Disability File
Information regarding a declared disability is maintained separately from the student鈥檚 official university record. At 91黑料网, the student鈥檚 official disability record is maintained in the Office of Accessibility Resources and Services.
