The Family Educational Rights and Privacy ActThis Federal law states that:
The law provides that the institution maintain the confidentiality of student education records. The University accords all the rights under the law to its students. Students wishing access to a complete copy of the regulation and the University policy governing their educational records may do so at these locations: Provost/Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Sadler Hall Room 4022 Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Sadler Hall Room 4017 Dean of Campus Life Room 2006 Office of the Registrar, Sadler Hall Room 1006 Scholarship and Financial Aid, Sadler Hall Room 2008 There are six rights, which are summarized here:
At its discretion, TCU may provide directory information in accordance with the provisions of the act to include student name, address, telephone number, email address, image, name of parents of dependent students, date and place of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, participation in officially recognized activities and sports; and weight and height of members of athletic teams. It is also permissible for the University to release information from a student's educational record to a parent, provided the student is a dependent, as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. Students may withhold directory information by notifying the Office of the Registrar in writing. Requests for non-disclosure will be honored for only one academic year; therefore, authorization to withhold directory information must be filed annually.
