Pursuant to federal law, a student admitted to the Department of Nursing is entitled to inspect the evaluation in his/her file, unless the
student has signed a waiver of this right of access. However, the department does not require a waiver as condition for admission, receipt
of financial aid or receipt of any other services or benefits from the department. Applicants submitting names of individuals for letters of
recommendation, therefore, are free to determine whether or not they wish to waive their potential right to examine such evaluations.
Waiver
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act permits us to request, but not require, that you waive your right to inspect this evaluation.
This right, which we request that you waive, would arise if you were an enrolled student at Eastern Mennonite University and if the
evaluation were maintained after your enrollment. In considering whether you will waive, please be advised that the information contained
on this form will be used to evaluate you as an applicant for admission to the Eastern Mennonite University Department of Nursing. If you
elect to waive your rights of access to and review of this information, please sign your name.
