Antioch University adheres to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, concerning student access to files and the release of student information.
This act gives students certain rights with respect to their educational records. They are:
1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student's education records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy or other rights.
3. The right to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent (example-directory information - see below).
4. The right to secure a copy of Antioch University's student records policy from the Program Office.
5. The right to file complaints with the Department of Education concerning alleged failures by institutions to comply with the Act.
The items listed below are designated as "Public" or "Directory" information and may be released at the discretion of Antioch University. Under FERPA provisions as amended, students have the right to restrict disclosure of ALL or NONE of the items of public information listed below. Students who decide to inform the institution not to release any or all of these public information items, should know that the specified item(s) will be treated as if they were confidential, and any future requests for this information for purposes other than official Antioch business will be refused. A written request for non-disclosure must be completed each year for continuous restrictions. Requests for non-disclosure of public or directory information will be honored for the current academic year; therefore,
authorization to withhold public or directory information must be filed annually with the Program Office. Note that your name will not be published in the commencement program if you request non-disclosure during the academic year of your graduation.
