To comply with requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), Reid State Technical College has established the following policies and procedures. Reid State Technical College accords all rights under the law to students who are declared independent. For the purpose of this policy, whenever a student has attained 18 years of age or is attending an institution of postsecondary education, the permission or consent required of and the rights accorded to the parents of the student shall thereafter only be required of and accorded to the student.
Responsibility for protection of the privacy of student educational records rests primarily with the Registrar /Admissions & Records Clerk. Educational records are defined by FERPA to include records, files, documents, and other materials that contain information directly related to students and are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a person acting for such agency or institution. *Six exceptions to this definition of educational records are published in the 2010 FERPA Guide, a
publication of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
