Randolph-Macon College adheres to a policy of compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as amended (Buckley Amendment) which became law on June 17, 1976, and has as its objective to insure the privacy of student records. As such, it is the policy of the college to
- permit students to inspect their education records,
- limit disclosure to others of personally identifiable information from education records without students’ prior written consent, and
- provide students the opportunity to seek correction of their education records where appropriate.
In accordance with the Buckley Amendment, Randolph-Macon College has the right to make public without prior authorization from the student the following directory information: name, addresses, telephone number (on and/or off-campus), campus email address, date and place of birth, previous institution(s) attended, current enrollment status (e.g. class standing-freshman), dates of attendance, major and/or minor fields of study, awards and honors (e.g. Dean’s List), degrees conferred (including date), full-time or part-time status, participation in college recognized activities and sports, weight and height of athletic team members, and photograph or videotaped image.
Further explanation of the college’s policy on privacy is printed in the student handbook, and the full policy may be viewed on the Randolph-Macon College web site, under Disclosure of Academic Records.
