NOTICE OF STUDENT RIGHTS UNDER FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. These are:
1.
The right to inspect and review the student’s education
records within 45 days of the day the School receives the
request for access. Students should submit to the Director
or other appropriate official written requests that identify
the record(s) they wish to inspect. The School official will
make arrangements for access and will notify the student
of the time and place where records may be inspected. If
the records are not maintained by the School Official for
whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise
the student of the appropriate official to whom the request
should be addressed.
2.
The right to request an amendment of the student’s
educational record that the student believes is inaccurate
or misleading. Students may ask the School to amend a
record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. In
such cases, the student should write the School Official
responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the
record they are requesting be changed, and specify why it
is inaccurate or misleading. If the School decides not to
amend the record as requested by the student, the School
will notify the student of the decision and will advise the
student of his/her right to a hearing regarding the request
for an amendment. Additional information regarding the
hearing procedures will be provided to the student when
notified of the right to a hearing.
3.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally
identifiable information contained in the student’s
educational records, except to the extent that FERPA
authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception
which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to
School officials with legitimate educational interests. A
School official is a person employed by the School as an
administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or
support staff person (including law enforcement unit,
personnel and health staff); a person or company
contracted (such as attorney, auditor, funding agency or
collection agent); a person serving on the Board of
Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, or
assisting another School official in performing his/her
task.

Additionally, calls may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance.
4.
A School official has legitimate educational interest if the
official needs to review an education record in order to
fulfill his/her professional responsibility.
5.
Parental access to a student’s record will be allowed
without prior consent if the student is a dependent as
defined in Section 252 of the Internal Revenue Code.
6.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of
Education concerning alleged failures by the Dayton
School of Medical Massage or its Non‐Main Campuses to
comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and
address of the Office that administers FERPA is:
