Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act of 1974 (Access to Records)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L.93-380, S513) states that no institution of higher education shall prevent its students from inspecting and reviewing "any and all official records, files, and data including all material that is incorporated into each student's cumulative folder."

The only individuals or agencies authorized to see a student's record, other than the student, without the student's written consent, are school officials with "legitimate" educational interests, officials of other schools in which the student "intends to enroll," and certain government representatives.

Students interested in reviewing their files must see the Registrar or Information Processing Specialist.

An amendment to this law, the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (P.L. 106-386), requires all institutions of higher education to advise their campus community of where information concerning registered sex offenders in North Carolina can be obtained.

In accordance with this amendment, the following Web address contains registered sex offenders information for North Carolina: http://sbi.jus.state.nc.us/DOJHAHT/SOR/Default.htm.
