Student Right to Access, Copy, and Challenge Educational Records
Students have the right to inspect and review information contained in their education records. The records will be made available within 45 days after a written request is made to the chief student affairs officer. Students may have copies of their records. These copies will be made at the student’s expense at rates authorized in the Texas Public Information Act (Texas Government Code 552). Official copies of academic records or transcripts will not be released for students who have a delinquent financial obligation or financial “hold” at the university.
Students have the right to challenge the contents of their education records if they believe the records contain information which is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of their privacy or other rights. The full procedure to challenge records is published in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), a copy of which appears in the Catalog.
