Academic records and transcripts are also housed in the registrar’s office. Notre Dame of Maryland University has a commitment to protect the confidentiality of student records. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) provide students with certain rights with respect to their education records. These include: the right to inspect and review their records; the right to request an amendment of the student’s education record they believe is inaccurate; the right to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s record (except where FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent). One exception that permits disclosure without consent is for school/university officials with legitimate educational interests. For more detailed information on academic records (http://ndm.edu/registrarstudent-records)
Students have the ability to provide an approval for others (parents, spouses, etc.) to have access to educational and financial records by completing an Authorization to Release Student Information form (http://ndm.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/univ-ferpa_2.pdf)
Directory information may be released to the general public without prior written consent. Notre Dame considers the following to be directory information: name, date and place of birth, address and phone number, classification, degrees and awards received, major/concentration/minors, dates of attendance and participation in athletics/official NDMU activities. Students must send a written request to the registrar’s office before the first Friday of each semester to place a hold on the release of any of this directory information. The hold is valid for one semester and must be submitted at the beginning of each subsequent semester. If a hold is placed on the release of information, that hold prohibits the release of all items of directory information to all outside persons, organizations or agencies.
