Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is Federal law designed to protect the privacy aspects of a student’s educational record. It regulates the use and disclosure of personal information in educational records and permits a student to know what material is maintained in those records. Below are examples of personally identifiable information (PII) and directory information (for more information please visit the SCC Student Handbook).

Personal Information:

PI is contained in the student’s education records and cannot be released without a digital permission waiver granted in SCC Family Connection - Campus ESP.

Public Directory Information:

Directory information as defined by the United States Department of Education means information contained in an educational record of a student that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Students may request SCC not release directory information by sending an email to enrollment@stchas.edu from their SCC account verifying what information they do not wish to have released. This must be completed before the end of the second week of classes of a regular term (by the end of the first week of classes of a summer term) or it will become public directory information. 

The college may disclose records without student consent to the following parties:
