ACCESS
& PRIVACY OF STUDENT RECORDS
The Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974 provides for a student™s right to privacy
of information which MCC has in its possession concerning the student
and provides a reasonable guideline for release or disclosure of such
information as is required by federal and state law and as is necessary
for the effective functioning of the college. MCC accords all
the rights under the law to students who are 18 years old or older.
No one outside the institution shall have access to, nor will the institution
disclose, any information from a student™s education records, with
the exception of directory information, without the written consent
of the student. Under the law, MCC may, at its discretion, provide the
following directory information: student™s name, address, e-mail address, date
of birth, program of study, dates of attendance, degrees received, awards
received, previous educational institutions attended, and participation
in officially recognized activities and clubs. Students may request,
in writing each semester, that MCC withhold all information pertaining
to them. Students who want any other information about their education
records, such as a transcript, released to a third party must submit
a written authorization to the Enrollment Services Office.
