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’s name, major field of study, enrollment status, dates of attendance, participation in recognized sports, degrees and certificates earned, term degrees and certificates awarded, and honors.

The College will assign all students a ctcLink Identification Number (ID). Students are required to use their assigned ctcLink ID to access their records, register for classes, pay tuition, etc.
