Confidentiality of Records
Clark College has adopted procedures in compliance with
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) as
amended, and maintains confidentiality of student records.
College employees are trained to comply with information
release guidelines.
With few exceptions, no one will have access to student
records without the written consent of the student. Clark
College will not release a student's record to a parent/
guardian without the student's written request. This policy
is in effect regardless of the student's age or financial dependency
upon the parent or guardian.
The College may release student directory information without
student consent. Directory information includes student
name, student address, student email, date of birth, major field of study, quarters
of attendance,
degrees and awards received, participation in activities
and sports, and weight and height of members of athletic
teams.
The College will assign all students a Student Identification
Number (SID). Students are required to use their assigned
SID to access their records, register for classes, pay tuition,
etc.
