FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT
MSU Denver maintains educational records for each student who has enrolled at the college. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), 20 USC 1232g, and the implementing regulations published at 34 CFR part 99, each eligible student has the right to:
- inspect and review his or her educational records
- request the amendment of educational records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of his or her privacy or other rights
- consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in his or her educational records, except to the extent that FERPA
- authorizes disclosure without consent (e.g., disclosure of directory
information, in health and safety emergencies, and in response to a court order of lawfully issued subpoena, etc.)
- file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education under 34 CFR 99.64 concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the requirements of FERPA
- obtain a copy of the college’s policy on student educational records from the Registrar’s Office, Student Success Building 160
NONDISCLOSURE AND EXCEPTIONS
Pursuant to FERPA, the college will not disclose a student’s educational records without the written consent of the student except to college officials; to officials at other institutions in which the student seeks to enroll; in connection with providing financial aid to the student; to accrediting agencies in carrying out their functions; to federal, state or local authorities auditing or evaluating the college’s compliance with education programs; to consultants conducting studies on behalf of the college; in compliance with a judicial order or subpoena; and in connection with a health or safety emergency involving the student.
The college may release directory information, and does make lists of student directory information available to outside businesses who request such information, without the prior written consent of the student. Students who do not wish their directory information included in these lists should submit, in writing to the Registrar’s Office, a request for nondisclosure of their directory information. This request should be submitted to the Registrar's Office, Student Success Building 160 or fax to 303-556-3999. A request for nondisclosure will remain in effect until the student is no longer enrolled or cancels the request for nondisclosure.
DIRECTORY INFORMATION
MSU Denver has designated the following categories of personally identifiable information on students as directory information under section 438(a) (5) (B) of FERPA:
- name, address and telephone number
- student classification
- major and minor fields of study
- participation in officially recognized activities and sports
- weight and height of members of athletic teams
- dates of attendance at the college
- degrees and awards received
- last educational institution attended
Requests for Directory Information must be submitted in writing to the Registrar’s Office, Student Success Building 160. Employers or their agents may request information directly from the Registrar’s Office without submitting a written request. Two working days should be allowed to accommodate requests for information.
