No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.”

File Review Policy

In accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privileges Act of 1974 (FERPA), a student has a right to review and inspect his or her records. A student file will be made available within two weeks of receipt of a written request. If an accommodation for a disability is required, it should be requested in the written request. Students will be asked to call and make an appointment so that space can be made available for reading the file.

A DSS staff member will be present during the time the student is reviewing the file.

If the student believes that something in the file gives inaccurate or misleading information, the student may request in writing to meet with the DSS director to discuss the issue. If, after meeting with the DSS director, the student is not satisfied, the student can file a grievance in accordance with university procedures.
