Access to Student Records
Student records at Tulsa Community College are maintained by College Officials in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as amended in 1995. A College Official is a person who serves Tulsa Community College in an academic or administrative manner and includes, but is not limited to, instructors, registrar, counselor, admissions, attorney, law enforcement, and other support and clerical personnel. This definition also includes a person or company with whom TCC has outsourced institutional services or functions, such as a contractor, consultant, or volunteer; a person serving on an official TCC committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee; or a person legitimately authorized to assist another TCC school official in performing their professional TCC responsibilities. The Act also affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records.
- These rights include the right of students to request access to their personal records and also the right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate.
- The student must submit in writing a request precisely noting the record for review.
- Additionally, students have the right to consent of disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
- Upon request, the College discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
The Act affords students the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA:
Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Ave, SW Washington, DC 20202-4605
In order to release information to a third party, a FERPA Release Form must be on file in the student's record.
FERPA Release Form
It is the policy of Tulsa Community College, in accordance with FERPA, to withhold personally identifiable information contained in the student's educational records unless the student has consented to disclosure or FERPA allows disclosure. A description of these rights can be viewed in the TCC Student Policies and Resources Handbook.
To authorize the disclosure of the educational record to a third party, the student must complete the FERPA Student Records Release Form found on the MyTCC My Account tab.
The FERPA release form may be revoked at any time by completing a new FERPA release and selecting the revoke option.
