ANNUAL NOTICE TO STUDENTS
FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS & PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 (FERPA)
In fulfillment of the University’s obligation under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, notice is hereby given to students of the
University’s FERPA policy and students’ rights under the act. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34
CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all institutions that receive funds
under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA was designated to protect the privacy of educational records, to
establish the rights of students to inspect and review their educational records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or
misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students also have the right to file a complaint concerning any alleged failure of the
University to comply with the act. Complaints may be addressed to:
Family Policy Compliance Office,
US Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202-5901
FERPA identifies certain data as “directory information,” which may be freely released to the public without written authorization of the
student. Students may file a form with the Registrar’s Office requesting withholding of directory information. The student’s records will be
kept confidential until the student requests in writing that the confidentiality hold be removed. CSU Channel Islands designates the following
items as directory information:

• Student’s name

University will not respond to any requests for information about you and your name will not appear on any official rosters for events such
