Release of Student Information and Access to Student Records

A student attending SAU Tech has the right to inspect and review all records, which meet the definition of educational records. Student rights concerning access to educational records are defined in Public Law 98-380 as amended by Public Law 93-568 (also known as the Buckley Amendment and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974). The law permits release of “directory information” unless the student requests his/her information not be released. Students not wishing the dissemination of directory information must notify the Registrar’s Office in writing. Written notice must be submitted during the first 12 class days of a fall or spring semester or the first four days of a summer session.

“Directory Information,” as defined by SAU Tech, includes the following:

  1. Name, address, and telephone number
  2. Major field of study
  3. Dates of attendance
  4. Degrees and awards received
  5. Most recent previous education agency or institution attended.

No transcript or academic record is released without the written consent from the student stating the information to be given, except as specified by law.
