Privacy
Please note that, due to FERPA, we cannot provide parents or guardians information about students attending SCC.
FERPA
SCC has developed policies and procedures in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974. The rights accorded students shall apply to all students 18 years of age or older, or no longer dependent upon their parents; students in a postsecondary education program, regardless of their age; and parents of eligible dependent students.
Generally, students have the following rights: to inspect and review their educational records; to a hearing to challenge the contents of their records; and to receive copies of all or part of their educational records upon request. All requests for student records and information must be in writing and directed to the campus Student Services Office. Questions relating to the release of records and information should be directed to the campus Student Services Office. SCC may provide directory lists of graduates to senior institutions that have an articulation agreement with SCC.
Directory information consisting of the items listed below may be released:
• Student Name
• Major field of study
• Dates of attendance
• Enrollment status
• Most recent previous school attended
• Degrees and awards received
• Honors and awards received, including Dean’s List and other academic honors
• Participation in officially recognized co-curricular activities (e.g. music, sports)
• Weight and height of athletic team members
• Parking permit number and auto license number
• Photograph*
When available, the student’s physical address, e-mail address and/or telephone number will be released at the discretion of the Student Services Office.
*Use of Photographs:
Photographers employed or contracted by SCC regularly take photographs of people, either individually or in a group, to illustrate or describe various aspects of the College and campus life. These photographs will be taken at public venues such as athletic events and concerts. Or they may be taken in organized campus photo shoots where the subjects will have given verbal consent to be photographed. Individuals who are photographed while attending a public event or who verbally agree to participate in a photo shoot will be understood to have authorized SCC to use their likeness in print and electronic materials to promote the College. The College will retain the usage rights to the photographs in perpetuity.
To avoid having this information released, the student must submit a written request to the campus Student Services Office within 10 classroom days, not including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, after initial enrollment in the College. After the initial 10-day period, any new request for withholding of directory information shall require a 10-classroom day, not including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, written notice to the campus Student Services Office to become effective.
The College requires a student’s Social Security number as a condition for enrollment. A student’s Social Security number information constitutes an "educational record" under FERPA. The College will be privileged to redisclose that information only with the consent of the student or in those very limited circumstances when consent is not required by FERPA. Questions regarding FERPA should be directed to the campus Registration and Records Office.
