Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Student Information Presentation
(click for presentation)

Harford Community College complies with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and any regulations, which may be promulgated there under. The purpose of this act is to allow the student to be aware of what educational records are kept by the college, to provide the student the right to inspect such records and ask for corrections, if necessary, and to control the release of such information to those who are not involved in the educational process. Under the Privacy Act, directory information is made available to anyone who requests it unless the student specifically asks that this not be done. (Requests to withhold release of information must be submitted to the Office of Records and Registration at the beginning of each academic semester.) The only information that HCC considers in the directory information category is as follows:
  • Student Name
  • Photographs
  • Date of Birth
  • Email Address
  • Academic Honors and Awards
  • Program of Study
  • Dates of Enrollment
  • Full-Time/Part-Time Status
  • Degrees/Certificates Awarded
  • Participation in Officially Recognized Activities and Sports
Anyone who believes that his or her rights have been abridged may file complaints with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office (FERPA), Department of Education, Washington, D.C. 20201.
