| The
law provides students with the right to inspect and review information
contained in their education records, to have a hearing if the outcome
of the challenge is unsatisfactory, and to submit explanatory statements
for inclusion in their files if the decisions of the hearing panels
are unacceptable.
The Registrar at Lanier Technical College has been designated by the college to coordinate the inspection and review procedures for student education records, which include admissions, personal, academic, and financial files, and academic, cooperative education, and placement records. Any student wishing to review his/her education record must make written request to the Registrar listing the item or items of interest. Only records covered by the Act will be made available within forty-five days of the request. Students may have copies made of their records with certain exceptions (e.g., a copy of the academic record for which a financial "hold" exists or transcript of an original or source document which exists elsewhere). Copies will
be made at the student's expense at prevailing rates. Education
records do not include records of instructional, administrative,
and educational personnel which are the sole possession of the college,
records of the law enforcement unit, student health records, employment
records or alumni records. Health records, however, may be reviewed
by physicians of the student's choosing. |
