Student Records Policy

Print

The School of Law maintains records on each student. These begin with your application and supporting materials, and include your transcript and other documents relating to your education here (e.g., medical records you submit in connection with a request for an accommodation; letters of recommendation you request from a member of the faculty; records of disciplinary proceedings; notations of awards or commendations, etc.) It is our policy to safeguard the privacy of these records in accordance with University regulations and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 ("FERPA").

Each year, you will receive a notice explaining the School of Law’s policy on access to educational records. This notice will explain the basis on which faculty and other law school personnel may seek and obtain access to your records. You will also receive a second notice, explaining the School of Law’s policy permitting you to request that certain material be placed under seal, significantly limiting access to such material. This notice will also explain the rules governing your own access to your records.

The School of Law encourages you to familiarize yourself with these policies.
