Privacy Statement
SCC has developed policies and procedures in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA applies to students who are 18 years of age or older or who attend a postsecondary institution at any age
FERPA Rights
Generally, students have the following rights:
- To inspect and review the student’s educational record within 45 days after the day Southeast Community College receives a request for access
- To request the amendment of the student’s educational records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA
- To provide written consent before the university discloses personally identifiable information from the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent
- To file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Southeast Community College to comply with the requirements of FERPA
All requests for student records, amendment of student records, information and/or questions relating to the release of records and disclosure of PII must be in writing and directed to the campus Registration and Records Office.
FERPA allows disclosure of PII from a student education record without prior consent in certain cases. In addition to the circumstances noted below, a disclosure may also be made when the disclosure meets other permissible purposes as identified in 34 CFR 99.
- The disclosure is to other school officials who have legitimate educational interest in records. This may include teachers, staff members, contractors, consultants, volunteers or other parties who perform services or functions on behalf of SCC.
- The disclosure is to officials of another school, school system or college where the student is enrolled or seeks to enroll. The disclosure must be for purposes related to the student’s enrollment or transfer. This would include information released to a high school in the case of a dually-enrolled student such as in SCC’s SENCAP or TCA programs.
- Government agencies for purposes of a school audit, evaluation, or compliance with federal programs.
The disclosure is of directory information, which is information contained in a student’s education record that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.
Directory information consisting of the items listed below may be released without the student’s consent:
- 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/Video*
*Use of Photographs/Video:
Photographers/videographers employed or contracted by SCC regularly take photographs/video of people, either individually or in a group, to illustrate or describe various aspects of the College and campus life. These photographs/video will be taken at public venues such as athletic events and concerts or they may be taken in organized campus photo/video shoots where the subjects will have given verbal consent to be photographed/videotaped. Individuals who are photographed/ videotaped while attending a public event or who verbally agree to participate in a photo/video 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/video in perpetuity.
To avoid having this information released, the student must submit a written request to the campus Registration and Records Office within 10 classroom days, not including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, after the term starts.
The Right to File a Complaint
If you believe the school has failed to comply with regulatory requirements and the complaint was not satisfactorily resolved with the school, you have the right to file a complaint with the Department of Education.
For additional information regarding privacy rights, please see the Department of Education’s FERPA website.

*The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights enforces Title IX's prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex to also include discrimination based on gender identity.
It is against the law for this recipient of Federal financial assistance to discriminate
on the following basis:
against any individual in the United States, on the basis of race, color, religion,
sex*, national origin, age, disability, political affiliation or belief; and against any
beneficiary of programs financially assisted under Title I of the Workforce Investment
Act of 1998 (WIA), on the basis of the beneficiary's citizenship/status as a lawfully
admitted immigrant authorized to work in the United States, or his or her participation
in any WIA Title I-financially assisted program or activity.
The recipient must not discriminate in any of the following areas:
- deciding who will be admitted, or have access, to any WIA Title I-financially assisted program or activity;
- providing opportunities in, or treating any person with regard to, such a program or activity; or
- making employment decisions in the administration of, or in connection with, such a program or activity.
What To Do If You Believe You Have Experienced Discrimination
If you think that you have been subjected to discrimination under a WIA Title I-financially
assisted program or activity, you may file a complaint within 180 days from the date
of the alleged violation with either:
the recipient's Equal Opportunity Officer (refer to contact information below); or the Director, Civil Rights Center (CRC), U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Room N-4123, Washington, DC 20210.
If you file your complaint with the recipient, you must wait either until the recipient issues a written Notice of Final Action, or until 90 days have passed (whichever is sooner), before filing with the Civil Rights Center (see address above).
If the recipient does not give you a written Notice of Final Action within 90 days of the day on which you filed your complaint, you do not have to wait for the recipient to issue that Notice before filing a complaint with CRC. However, you must file your CRC complaint within 30 days of the 90-day deadline (in other words, within 120 days after the day on which you filed your complaint with the recipient).
If the recipient does give you a written Notice of Final Action on your complaint, but you are dissatisfied with the decision or resolution, you may file a complaint with CRC. You must file your CRC complaint within 30 days of the date on which you received the Notice of Final Action.

يحمي الفصل التاسع من القانون الأفراد المشتركين في أي نشاط أو برنامج تعليمي قائم على المساعدات المالية الفيدرالية من التمييز القائم على أساس الجنس. ويعتبر التحرش الجنسي الذي يتضمن عملاً من أعمال العنف الجنسي، شكلاً من أشكال التمييز القائم على أساس الجنس الذي يحظره الفصل التاسع من القانون. أنظر:
تلتزم كلية المجتمع للجهة الجنوبية الشرقية لولاية نبراسكا بتوفير بيئة خالية من التمييز القائم على أساس الجنس وعدد من الموارد والخدمات التي تهدف لمساعدة الطلبة والأساتذة والعاملين في الكلية لمعالجة القضايا التي تتضمن تمييزا قائماً على أساس الجنس بما فيه العنف الجنسي. وقد تم تكليف مكتب تطبيق المساواة والتنوع ليكون الدائرة التنسيقية للكلية لتطبيق الفصل التاسع من القانون.

At Southeast Community College, your privacy is a priority. We recognize that your personal details shared via our website are a valuable trust. The information received from you via our website is solicited to provide appropriate services to you.
Southeast Community College does not sell or trade its lists of names and addresses to anyone for solicitation purposes. Third parties only have access to our lists when they provide us a service that will enhance our information or our service to you (e.g., to verify addresses against public directories).
The Southeast Community College website does not collect any personal information about you unless you provide that information voluntarily (e.g., by filling out a form, sending an email, or completing an online transaction).
Our use of information is in some cases governed by (and complies with) federal and Nebraska state privacy and Freedom of Information laws, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
The Gramm Leach Bliley Act, also known as the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, regulates the disclosure of non-public personal information held by financial institutions. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ruled that colleges and universities that offer education loans (e.g., Perkins and institutional loans) are subject to the provisions of the Gramm Leach Bliley Act. The FTC considers colleges and universities to be in compliance with the privacy provisions of the Act if they are in compliance with FERPA. Southeast Community College complies with FERPA requirements.
SCC will not discriminate based on any student's pregnancy or parental status. The College's practices and procedures will conform to the requirements of 34 C.F.R. 106.40. Specifically, the College:
- Will not apply any rule concerning a student's actual or potential parental, family, or marital status which treats students differently on the basis of sex*.
- Will not discriminate against any student, or exclude any student from its education program or activity, including any class or extracurricular activity, on the basis of such student's pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery there from.
- Will permit a student to voluntarily request to participate in a separate portion of the College's programs or activities, to the extent such programs and activities are available and do not jeopardize program accreditation/certification standards. If a student participates in a separate program, the instructional program shall be comparable to that offered to non-pregnant students.
- May, when appropriate/necessary, on the basis of such student's pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy or recovery there from, require a student to obtain the certification of a physician that the student is physically and emotionally able to continue participation in the normal education program or activity, so long as such a certification is required of all students for other physical or emotional conditions requiring the attention of a physician.
- Will treat pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy and recovery there from in the same manner and under the same policies as any other temporary disability with respect to any and all rights, benefits, privileges, and opportunities attendant to the College's educational programs or activities.
- Will treat pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy and recovery there from as a justification for a leave of absence for so long a period of time as is deemed medically necessary by the student's physician, at the conclusion of which the student shall be reinstated to the status which she held when the leave began.
Administrative authority to implement and monitor these guidelines rests with the Vice President for Access/Equity/Diversity, in collaboration with the Vice President for Student Services, the Vice President for Instruction, and designated staff within those Divisions.
Adopted by the Area Administration Team: May 3, 2017
