Student Records and Privacy
Crowley’s Ridge College promotes and encourages interactive problem solving and open communication between students and their families. However, the College is required to share student information in accordance with federal and state regulations. The primary regulation impacting student information is the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). A full description of your rights under FERPA is available in the Student Handbook. If a student wishes to allow his or her parents access to FERPA-regulated student information, a student must complete the “FERPA Consent to Release” form and return it to the College’s FERPA compliance officer. Student information, also known as an education record, includes, but is not limited to, grade information, disciplinary documentation, and billing and financial aid data.
