NOTIFICATION OF RIGHTS UNDER FERPA FOR POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTIONS »
http://www.uky.edu/Registrar/ferpa.htmI 1
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are: l ;
(1) The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. Students should submit
to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The 3;
University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. lf the records are
not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request i
should be addressed.
(2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate. Students may ask the University to amend a
record that they believe is inaccurate. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want —-
changed, and specify why it is inaccurate. lf the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student _
of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing i
procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
(3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA V;
authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational Q
interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including *4
law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attomey, auditor, or collection I
agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official cornrnittee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting ‘
another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record _Q
in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Q _
1 .
Upon request, the University discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. [N ote: ` `
FERPA requires an institution to make a reasonable attempt to notify the student ofthe records request unless the institution states in its annual notification '
that it intends to forward records on request.] j

of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland `.
Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C., 20202-4605. _·

ANNUAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT g
Student Right-to-Know Act (P.L. 101 -542) .
University of Kentucky [_
2002-2003 I5
Section 103 of the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542) as amended by the Higher Education I
Technical Amendments of 1991 (Public Law 102-26) requires public disclosure of relevant graduation rate information for students enrolled in
colleges and universities receiving federal financial assistance annually beginning July 1, 1993. The following statement is the University of `.
Kentucky’s official disclosure statement in accordance with the requirements of P.L. 101-542 Section 103 for the 2002-2003 academic year. _
Graduation Rate of Entering Freshmen 1 I
The graduation rate for all students entering the University of Kentucky as first-time freshmen during the 1995-96 academic year* was 57.2 percent. This , ~
graduation rate represents the percentage of students entering the University of Kentucky as first-time (i.e., new) full-time degree-seeking freshmen during the it
1995 Summer and Fall terms who subsequently were awarded baccalaureate degrees by the University of Kentucky within six calendar years (i.e., through August I
2001). This rate was calculated under definitions and procedures established by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and reported to the NCAA ”
on the University’s 2001 Graduation Rate Disclosure Form in March 2002. {
Final regulations and guidelines for the calculation, reporting, and disclosure of graduation rate information required under the Student Ri ght-to-Know Act have
not yet been issued by the Department of Education. Definitions of the entering student cohort in the Department of Education’s proposed regulations (Federal
Register, July 10, 1992) and the NCAA Graduation Rate Disclosure Form differ slightly. However, the University has determined that the graduation rate .
information in the annual NCAA report is substantially comparable to the information required under the Student Right-to-Know Act, and is reporting that r
information at this time pending release of final federal regulations. L
March 2002
* 'I'lre information to bedisclosed by July 1 of each year is "the graduation rate for the most recent cohort of entering students thatall have had an opportunity to complete or graduate ;
from their respective programs" in the specified completion period (which for the University of Kentucky is six years). The most recent entering cohort meeting this requirement 2
is the 1995-96 freshman class. ‘
