[iii]Student Financial Aid Information

The purpose of student financial aid is to provide assistance to students who, without financial aid, would be unable to attend. 

[iv]Need-Based and Non-Need-Based Financial Assistance Programs

There are many different types of aid available.  Some of these are grants, loans, scholarships, and Veterans Benefits.

Federal Pell Grant (PELL)

Pell grants are the foundation of federal student financial assistance to which aid from other federal and nonfederal sources might be added. These grants are generally awarded to undergraduate students and the award amounts can change yearly. Unlike loans, grants are not repaid unless, for example, you withdraw from school prior to the planned program completion date. All federal grants are awarded to students with financial need. The amount of your Federal Pell Grant depends on your cost of attendance, expected family contribution, enrollment status (full or part time) and whether you attend for a full academic year or less. For more information visit Federal Pell Grant.

Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant

A student whose parent or guardian was a member of the U.S. Armed Forces and died as a result of service performed in Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 2001 may be eligible to receive the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant.

Additional Student Eligibility Requirements:



- Must be ineligible for a Federal Pell Grant due only to having less financial need than is required to receive Pell funds, and

- Be under 24 years old, or

- Enrolled in college at least part-time at the time of the parent’s or guardian’s death.

 

The grant award is equal to the amount of a maximum Pell Grant for the award year – not to exceed the cost of attendance for that award year.

William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program

Student loans, unlike grants, are borrowed money (monies) that must be repaid with interest. Loans made through this program are referred to as Direct Loans. Eligible students and parents borrow directly from the U.S. Department of Education. For more information visit William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. There are three types of loans in the program:

Subsidized Stafford Loan- A student can borrow this type of loan to cover some or all of their school expenses. The U.S. Department of Education pays the interest while you're in school at least half-time and for the first six months after you leave school (grace period). The amount of the loan cannot exceed a student's financial need. For more information visit Subsidized Stafford Loan.

Unsubsidized Stafford Loan- A student can borrow this type of loan to cover some or all of their school expenses. The U.S. Department does not pay interest on subsidized loans. A student is responsible for paying the interest that accrues on the loan from the time the loan is disbursed until it's paid in full. The fixed interest rate of 6.8 percent can be paid while attending school, during a period of deferment or forbearance or it can be accrued and the interest added to the principle amount of the loan. For more information visit Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.

PLUS Loans- Parents of dependent students can borrow from the PLUS Loan program. The terms and conditions of this type of loan include a requirement that the applicant not have an adverse credit history, a repayment period that begins on the date of the last disbursement of the loan and a fixed interest rate of 7.9 percent for the Direct Loan. For more information visit PLUS Loans.

Workforce Investment Act - IL[4]

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) combines federally-funded job training programs in Illinois into a "workforce development" system where individuals can find a job or train for a new career.

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) combines federally-funded job training programs in Illinois into a "workforce development" system where individuals can find a job or train for a new career.

Services are provided through the state's one-stop delivery system, Illinois workNet™ Centers. Individuals who wish to apply for available training programs, or obtain other services, should report to the nearest Illinois workNet™ Center for assistance.

While the employment services and training programs available in each IL workNet™ Center may be somewhat different, they reflect the opportunities and needs of the Local Workforce Investment Area (or "LWIA"; there are 26 in Illinois), and are developed by a Local Workforce Investment Board.

Services Available

WIA establishes three basic levels of employment and training services to eligible individuals. All adults, age 18 or older, are eligible to receive "core services". Additional "intensive services" are available to unemployed individuals who have been unable to obtain jobs through core services and those who are employed but need additional training services to reach self-sufficiency. "Training services" are also available for those who meet intensive services eligibility but were unable to find employment through those services.

Core Services (available to all adults age 18 years or older):

·         Job search and placement assistance (including career counseling)

·         Labor market information (which identifies job vacancies; skills needed for in-demand jobs; and local, regional, and national employment trends)

·         Initial assessment of skills and needs

·         Information about and costs for local training providers

·         Follow-up services to help customers keep their jobs once they are placed

Intensive Services (available to eligible adults who have been unable to find work through core services, or need additional training to reach self-sufficiency):
  • Comprehensive assessments
  • Development of individual employment plans
  • Group and individual counseling
  • Case management
  • Short-term prevocational services
  • Out-of-area job search assistance, or relocation assistance
  • Internships, literacy activities
Training Services (for those who have received "intensive services" but are still unable to find employment):
  • occupational skills training
  • on-the-job training
  • cooperative education programs, and private sector training programs
  • job readiness training
  • adult education and literacy activities
  • customized employer training
Dislocated Worker and Youth Services

To be eligible for the dislocated worker program, a person must have received a lay off notice or have been laid off due to a company closure or mass layoff. Workers may also be eligible if they are currently unemployed and are unlikely to return to their prior occupation due to economic conditions in that industry. 

To be eligible for the youth program, a person must be between the ages of 14 and 21, have low income, and have a substantial barrier to employment such as: deficient in basic literacy skills, school dropout, homeless, a runaway or a foster child, pregnant or parenting, an offender, or be an individual who requires additional assistance to complete an educational program, or to secure and hold employment.

Services include:

  • Tutoring, mentoring, study skills training, and instruction leading to completion of secondary school
  • Alternative school services
  • Paid and unpaid work experience (such as internships and job shadowing)
  • Occupational skills training
  • Leadership development

[vi]Criteria for Selecting Recipients and Determining Amount of Award

Expected Family Contribution

The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is a measure of your family’s financial strength and is calculated according to a formula established by law.  Your family’s income, family size, and the number of individuals in your family who will attend college during the year are all considered.

The information you report on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or your FAFSA4caster is used to calculate your EFC.  Schools use EFC to determine your federal student aid eligibility and financial aid award.

For more information, please visit: Funding Education Beyond High School: The Guide to Federal Student Aid at:http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/index.html. To request a free copy of Funding Education Beyond High School: The Guide to Federal Student Aid, call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243).

Determining Independent Student Status

If you can answer No to all of the following questions, you are considered a dependent student on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA):

  • Were you born before January 1, 1989?
  • As of today are you married?
  • At the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year, will you be working on a master's or doctorate program (such as an MA, MBA, MD, JD, PhD, EdD, or graduate certificate, etc.)?
  • Are you currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes other than training?
  • Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces?
  • Do you have children who will receive more than half of their support from you between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013?
  • Do you have dependents (other than your children or spouse) who live with you and who receive more than half of their support from you, now and through June 30, 2013?
  • At any time since you turned age 13, were both your parents deceased, were you in foster care or were you a dependent or ward of the court?
  • As determined by a court in your state of legal residence, are you or were you an emancipated minor?
  • As determined by a court in your state of legal residence, are you or were you in legal guardianship?
  • At any time on or after July 1, 2011, did your high school or school district homeless liaison determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless?
  • At any time on or after July 1, 2011, did the director of an emergency shelter or transitional housing program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless?
  • At any time on or after July 1, 2011, did the director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or were self-supporting and at risk of being homeless?

If you are considered a dependent student, your parents must answer the parental questions on the FAFSA.

If you can answer Yes to any of the questions above, you are considered an independent student and information about your parents is not required on the FAFSA .

If you have a special circumstance that prevents you from providing parental information you may be able to submit your FAFSA. However, your FAFSA will be incomplete. You must contact the financial office at your college and provide them with documentation to verify your situation.

[vii]Student Eligibility Requirements

The school does not discriminate in its employment, admission, instruction, or graduation policies on the basis of sex, age, race, color, religion, or ethnic origin nor does it recruit students already attending or admitted to another school offering similar programs of study. The school requires that each student enrolling in the Cosmetology or Aesthetics program must:

  • Complete an application for enrollment
  • Submit a copy of a Driver’s License/State ID, Social Security Card and

[viii]Frequency of Disbursements

When financial aid is awarded, it is awarded for the academic year. The financial aid award is required to be split equally between two parts of the academic year. Financial aid is paid to a student's account when the following conditions are met.  Once determined, Credit Balances are issued by check to the student’s address on file and mailed via USPS.

1.     The student is determined to be eligible and is awarded.

2.     Loan funds have been received from the lender.

3.     The student has achieved the appropriate number of hours.

4.     The student is determined to be maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress.

5.     The disbursement date for the term has been reached.

[x]Satisfactory Academic Progress

Students are required to maintain satisfactory academic progress throughout their training to be in compliance with institutional policy and to remain eligible for HEA, Title IV federal student financial assistance. Satisfactory academic progress is measured in both quantitative terms (attendance), as well as qualitative terms (academics/grades). Students must meet the school’s attendance standard and the academic standard on a cumulative basis (start date to evaluation date) to maintain eligibility for federal student financial assistance funds unless the student is on “Financial Aid Warning” or “Probation” as defined in this policy.

Attendance Standard

Students must attend at least 75% of the hours they are scheduled to attend based on the student’s enrollment agreement. A student’s attendance pace is determined by the following formula:

Cumulative clock hours of actual attendance as of the evaluation date
Cumulative clock hours of scheduled attendance as of the evaluation date

For example, a student who is enrolled for 30 clock hours per week for 20 weeks would have a cumulative scheduled attendance of 600 clock hours. If the student attended 450 of the 600 scheduled hours, his/her attendance pace would be 75.0% (450/600) and would be meeting the attendance requirement of this policy.

Academic Standard

All theory, practical, and lab/clinic exams will be graded using the following scale:

 

Grading System

 

95% - 100%

A

Excellent

85% - 94%

B

Above Average

75% - 84%

C

Satisfactory

Below 75%

D

Unsatisfactory

 

Students must maintain an academic average of at least 75% (C) or higher on a cumulative basis as of the evaluation date to meet the academic standards of this policy and be considered as making satisfactory academic progress.

Review and Evaluation Periods

Student progress will be reviewed by the institution on a monthly basis to identify students who may be at risk regarding satisfactory academic progress. At risk students will be counseled and will be advised regarding efforts to improve progress. Formal satisfactory academic progress evaluations, which determine continuing eligibility for federal student aid, will be performed at the end of each financial aid payment period. Students who meet the attendance and academic standards described herein will be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation.

“Financial Aid Warning” and “Probation”

Students who fail to meet either of the two progress standards as of an evaluation date will be placed on Financial Aid Warning (FAW) status, and the student will remain eligible for federal student aid funds for the subsequent payment period. A student may not be placed on FAW for consecutive payment periods. At the end of the FAW period, the student must be meeting the published attendance and academic standards on a cumulative basis to be considered as making satisfactory academic progress and to remain eligible for further federal student financial aid. Any student who fails to meet the published standards at the end of his/her FAW period is considered as not making satisfactory academic progress and is ineligible for further federal aid unless the student submits a written appeal in accordance with this policy as is granted “Probation” by the institution. In the event the student submits a successful appeal and is granted probation, federal student aid eligibility will be reinstated for the subsequent payment period only.

Reinstatements

Generally, most students who enroll in the school are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress during their initial evaluation period. Students who are returning to school after a temporary interruption are reinstated under the same SAP status as they had prior to their departure.

Appeals

Students who have been designated as not making satisfactory academic progress may appeal this determination with the institution based on mitigating circumstances. The student’s appeal must be made in writing to the academic dean or school director and must be received within 10 days of the determination of unsatisfactory progress. The student’s appeal must document the unusual or mitigating circumstances that caused the student to fail to meet the institution’s standards as well provide information regarding what conditions have changed that would demonstrate that the student could regain satisfactory academic progress standards during the probationary period. The institution will review the student’s appeal and related documentation and its resulting decision will be final.

Course Incompletes and Repetitions

This institution does not offer grades of “incomplete” and accordingly, these have no impact on SAP. If a student withdraws from a program of study and re-enrolls in the same program within 180 days of withdrawal, the student is treated as returning to the same payment period that was in place when the student withdrew and must complete any clock hours for which the student previously received federal funding before being eligible for additional funding. A student who returns to a program after more than 180 days have elapsed since withdrawal may be eligible for federal aid for any classes the student must repeat to obtain academic credit. Students should meet with a financial aid advisor to discuss the conditions under which federal aid may be awarded for repeated courses.

Non-Credit and Remedial Courses

Noncredit and remedial courses do not apply to this institution. Therefore, these items have no effect upon the school's satisfactory progress standards.

Reinstatement of Federal Financial Aid

Federal student financial aid is suspended when a student is considered as not making satisfactory academic progress. Aid will be reinstated when the student improves his/her attendance or academics to a level such that minimum standards have been met. If the student begins a payment period not making satisfactory academic progress, but reverses that designation before the end of that payment period, the student will be eligible for federal aid for that payment period.

Maximum Time Frame

The normal time frames and maximum time frames required for program completion are listed below. Students who maintain satisfactory academic progress in attendance will complete the program during the allowable maximum time frame.

Normal Time Frame            Maximum Time Frame

Cosmetology (Full Time)               52 Weeks – 1500 Hours 78 Weeks - 2250 Hours

Cosmetology (Part Time)              104 Weeks – 1500 Hours               156 Weeks – 2250 Hours

Aesthetics (Full Time)    25 Weeks – 750 Hours    37.5 Weeks - 1350 Hours

Aesthetics (Part Time)   56 Weeks – 750 Hours    84 Weeks – 1350 Hours

Instructor – Cosmetology             26 Weeks - 600 Hours     39 Weeks – 900 Hours

The Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy is consistently applied to all students enrolled at this institution whether participating in Title IV programs or not. It is printed in the catalog to ensure that all students receive a copy prior to the first day of class. The policy complies with the guidelines established by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) and the federal regulations established by the United States Department of Education.

Evaluation Periods

Students are evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress as follows:

Cosmetology 450, 900, 1200 clocked hours

Aesthetics                      300, 750 clocked hours

Evaluations will determine if the student has met the minimum requirements for satisfactory academic progress. The frequency of evaluations ensures that students have ample opportunity to meet both the attendance and academic progress requirements of at least one evaluation by midpoint in the course.

[xii]Necessity for Repaying Loans

Student loans are real loans and it is imperative that you pay them back. The following is directly from the Department of Education’s website: http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/repaying.jsp#default

If you default, it means you failed to make payments on your student loan according to the terms of your promissory note, the binding legal document you signed at the time you took out your loan.  In other words, you failed to make your loan payments as scheduled. Your school, the financial institution that made or owns your loan, your loan guarantor, and the federal government all can take action to recover the money you owe. Here are some consequences of default:

  • National credit bureaus can be notified of your default, which will harm your credit rating, making it hard to buy a car or a house.
  • You will be ineligible for additional federal student aid if you decide to return to school.
  • Loan payments can be deducted from your paycheck.
  • State and federal income tax refunds can be withheld and applied toward the amount you owe.
  • You will have to pay late fees and collection costs on top of what you already owe
  • You can be sued.

 

For more information and to learn what actions to take if you default on your loans see the Department of Education’s Default Resolution Group Web site.

[xiii]Study Abroad

Our institutions do not participate in any programs which approved for study abroad.

[xiv]Financial Aid Applicable to Employment

Our institutions do not have any financial aid conditions or terms applicable to employment.

[xv]Exit Counseling

Our institutions provide to every student borrower of loans under the Federal Direct Loan program, exit counseling information whenever the student ceases enrollment.  If the student does not appear for exit counseling, we will mail the Exit Counseling Guide for Direct Loan borrowers.  Additionally, borrowers can find additional information:  http://www.nslds.ed.gov/nslds_SA/ and http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/repaying.jsp

  • The exit counseling packet will provide information on:
  • average anticipated monthly repayment amounts

[xvii]Privacy of Records-Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) Home

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."

Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.

Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.

Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):

  • School officials with legitimate educational interest;
  • Other schools to which a student is transferring;
  • Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
  • Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
  • Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;
  • Accrediting organizations;
  • To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
  • Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and
  • State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.

 

Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school.

For additional information, you may call 1-800-USA-LEARN (1-800-872-5327) (voice). Individuals who use TDD may call 1-800-437-0833.

Recordkeeping

Source:  Federal Student Aid Handbook, Volume II, Privacy of Student Information (FERPA Rules)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) sets limits on the disclosure of personally identifiable information from school records, and defines the rights of the student to review the records and request a change to the records.

With exceptions such as those noted in this section, FERPA generally gives postsecondary students the right

  • to review their education records,
  • to seek to amend inaccurate information in their records, and
  • to provide consent for the disclosure of their records.

These rules apply to all education records the school keeps, including admissions records (only if the student was admitted) and academic records as well as any financial aid records pertaining to the student. Therefore, the financial aid office is not usually the office that develops the school’s FERPA policy or the notification to students and parents, although it may have some input.

Student’s & parents’ rights to review educational records

A school must provide a student with an opportunity to review his or her education records within 45 days of the receipt of a request. A school is required to provide the student with copies of education records, or make other arrangements to provide the student access to the records, if a failure to do so would effectively prevent the student from obtaining access to the records. While the school may not charge a fee for retrieving the records, it may charge a reasonable fee for providing copies of the records, provided that the fee would not prevent access to student records.

While the rights under FERPA have transferred from a student’s parents to the student when the student attends a postsecondary institution, FERPA does permit a school to disclose a student’s education records to his or her parents if the student is a dependent student under IRS laws.

Note that the IRS definition of a dependent is quite different from that of a dependent student for FSA purposes. For IRS purposes, students are dependent if they are listed as dependents on their parent’s income tax returns. (If the student is a dependent as defined by the IRS, disclosure may be made to either parent, regardless of which parent claims the student as a dependent.)

Prior written consent to disclose the student’s records

Except, under one of the special conditions described in this section, a student must provide written consent before an education agency or school may disclose personally identifiable information from the student’s education records. The written consent must—

  • state the purpose of the disclosure,
  • specify the records that may be disclosed,
  • identify the party or class of parties to whom the disclosure may be made, and,
  • be signed and dated.

If the consent is given electronically, the consent form must—

  • identify and authenticate a particular person as the source of the electronic consent, and
  • indicate that person’s approval of the information contained in the electronic consent.

The FERPA regulations include a list of exceptions where the school may disclose personally identifiable information from the student’s file without prior written consent. Several of these allowable disclosures are of particular interest to the financial aid office, since they are likely to involve the release of financial aid records.

Disclosures to school officials 

Some of these disclosures may be made to officials at your school or another school who have a legitimate interest in the student’s records. Typically, these might be admissions records, grades, or financial aid records.

Disclosure may be made to:

  • other school officials, including teachers, within the school whom the school has determined to have legitimate educational interests.
  • to officials of another postsecondary school or school system, where the student receives services or seeks to enroll.

If your school routinely discloses information to other schools where the student seeks to enroll, it should include this information in its annual privacy notification to students. If this information is not in the annual notice, the school must make a reasonable attempt to notify the student at the student’s last known address.

Disclosures to government agencies

Disclosures may be made to authorized representatives of the U.S. Department of Education for audit, evaluation, and enforcement purposes. “Authorized representatives” includes employees of the Department—such as employees of the Office of Federal Student Aid, the Office of Postsecondary Education, the Office for Civil Rights, and the National Center for Education Statistics—as well as firms that are under contract to the Department to perform certain administrative functions or studies. In addition—

Disclosure may be made if it is in connection with financial aid that the student has received or applied for. Such a disclosure may only be made if the student information is needed to determine the amount of the aid, the conditions for the aid, the student’s eligibility for the aid, or to enforce the terms or conditions of the aid.

A school may release personally identifiable information on an F, J, or M nonimmigrant student to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service) in compliance with the Student Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) program without violating FERPA.

Disclosures in response to subpoenas or court orders

FERPA permits schools to disclose education records, without the student’s consent, in order to comply with a lawfully issued subpoena or court order.

In most cases, the school must make a reasonable effort to notify the student who is the subject of the subpoena or court order before complying, so that the student may seek protective action. However, the school does not have to notify the student if the court or issuing agency has prohibited such disclosure.

A school may also disclose information from education records, without the consent or knowledge of the student, to representatives of the U.S. Department of Justice in response to an ex parte order issued in connection with the investigation of crimes of terrorism.

Documenting the disclosure of information

Except as noted below, school must keep a record of each request for access and each disclosure of personally identifiable student information. The record must identify the parties who requested the information and their legitimate interest in the information. This record must be maintained in the student’s file as long as the educational records themselves are kept.

 

FERPA Responsibilities and Student Rights

A school is required to—

  •  Annually notify students of their rights under FERPA;
  •  Include in that notification the procedure for exercising their rights to inspect and review education records; and
  •  Maintain a record in a student’s file listing to whom personally identifiable information was disclosed and the legitimate interests the parties had in obtaining the information (does not apply to school officials with a legitimate educational interest or to directory information).
  •  Student has the right to—
  •  Inspect and review any education records pertaining to the student;
  •  Request an amendment to his/her records; and
  •  Request a hearing (if the request for an amendment is denied) to challenge the contents of the education records, on the grounds that the records are inaccurate, misleading, or violate the rights of the student.

 

Rights under FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:

  • The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access.

A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA.

A student who wishes to ask the University to amend a record should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed.

If the University decides not to amend the record as requested, the University will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

The right to provide written consent before the University discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

The University discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law en­forcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using University employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the University.

The student has the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the Institution to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office
