FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, is a federal law that protects the privacy and confidentiality of personally identifiable information contained within student education records. Colleges in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System comply with FERPA's confidentiality protections and adhere to procedures dealing with student education records and directory information recommended by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.

A WKCTC student is classified as anyone who has been issued a student ID number (also known as an EMPLID). A student may give consent to any individual by logging into their student self-service and filling out the consent to release information. The student must assign a passcode for each delegate and the individual that is granted permission must present photo identification and the correct passcode prior to requesting information.

 

Directory Information

In its discretion, a college or KCTCS as appropriate may provide Directory Information in accordance with the provisions of the Act (FERPA) to include:

• Student name
• Student address
• E-mail address
• Telephone number
• Date and place of birth
• Major field of study
• Dates of attendance
• Degrees and awards received
• The most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student
• Participation in officially recognized activities and sports

 Directions to restrict FERPA/Directory Information

Solomon Amendment

The Solomon Amendment is a federal law that allows military recruiters access to student recruitment information. The Solomon Amendment supersedes FERPA. However, if a student has submitted a request through the Records Office to restrict the release of directory information, then no information from the students educational record will be released under the Solomon Amendment.

Definition Student Recruitment Information

1. Name
2. Address
3. Telephone
4. Age
5. Level of education
6. Academic major
7. Degrees received
8. Educational institution in which the student was most recently enrolled

Procedure Release of Information to Military Recruiter

Information will be released for military recruitment purposes only. The military recruiters may request student recruitment information once each semester for each of the 12 eligible units within the five branches of the service:

Air Force	Coast Guard
Air Force Reserve	Coast Guard Reserve
Air Force National Guard	Navy
Army	Navy Reserve
Army National Guard	Marine Corps
Army Reserve	Marine Corps Reserve

The request should be submitted in writing, on letterhead, clearly identifying the military recruiting organization.

A student who has been assessed non-Kentucky resident tuition rates can apply for a change in status by providing all required documentation. Students must provide all supporting documents within 30 days of the first day of class for consideration. Appeals arriving after 30 days may be considered for the next term.
