What are considered education records?

教育记录是由澳门新葡京博彩区(“ACD”)维护的关于个别学生的所有记录.

These records can be in any medium (handwritten, 电子邮件, 打印, 缩微胶片, or other formats) maintained by the 大学.

公共记录...

根据FERPA, ACD指定了以下类别的个人学生信息作为公共或一般目录信息. This information will be routinely released to any inquirer, unless the student specifically requests that all or part of the following list be withheld:

  • 名字
  • 主要的
  • 注册状态
  • Dates of attendance (in person or by correspondence, 互联网, or other electronic and telecommunications technologies)
  • Most recent previous educational agency or institution attended
  • Degrees, certificates, and awards received

一般目录信息应向任何提出书面公开信息请求的个人或组织发布.

FERPA允许被视为可披露的学生目录信息的其他信息可以在未经同意的情况下发布,以实现ACD的机构目标, unless the student specifically requests that all or part be withheld.

ACD将尊重学生的要求,保留列出的公共记录信息的任何项目, 但不能承担联系学生的责任,以获得随后发布信息的许可.

Regardless of the effect upon a student, 学院不承担履行学生的要求,这些信息被扣留的责任. 希望限制访问其教育记录中的部分或全部公共信息的学生必须提交保密表格.
