Pg. 92, Privacy of Student Records Delete the section titled Privacy of Student Records and replace it with a section titled Student Records and add the following: Student Records Policy Policies and procedures concerning the security, integrity, confidentiality/privacy and data protection of student records maintained by Keiser University and its faculty and staff are governed by the university’s internal policy below and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, Public Law 93-380 (FERPA) concerning student records. Disciplinary records are maintained by the Office of the Academic Dean at each location. At Keiser University Latin American Campus (KULAC), these records are maintained by the Office of the Dean of Student Life. Security of Student Files Student files are maintained in both physical and electronic formats. For physical documents, student files are kept with the appropriate department in charge of those files. Student records are maintained by the campus Registrar’s Office (academic records), Financial Services Department (financial aid records), and Bursar’s Office (accounts receivable records). Each department keeps the physical student files in a locked cabinet in the department’s office. Electronic files are maintained in a password protected secure student information system (SIS). Integrity of Student Files In order to ensure the integrity of student files, only authorized University personnel have access to student records for official purposes. In addition, all full-time faculty and staff are required to complete training in confidentiality, appropriate oversight and security measures for the student files. Training is completed for both internal policies and FERPA requirements. Confidentiality/Privacy The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), requires that the University, with certain exceptions, obtain a student’s written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from a student’s records. Directory information is considered public and may be released without written consent unless specifically prohibited by the student concerned. Data defined as directory information includes: student name, major field of study, student participation in officially recognized activities, dates of attendance, enrollment status (full-, half-, part-time; undergraduate or graduate), degrees and awards received, and the most recent educational agency or institution the student has attended. A student wishing to allow certain parties to receive their student information is required to sign an Information Release Form (FERPA Form) which lists the specific parties the student would like the university to share their information with. This FERPA Form is securely stored in the university’s student information systems (SIS). Student information is released to persons, agencies or legal authorities as required by subpoena/legal process or by consent of a student (or eligible parent). Information is released on a consent basis in cases where a student or eligible parent has provided a written consent, signed, dated and specifying the information to be released and name (s) of persons to whom the information is to be released. Data Protection, Back Up and Security Breaches The University has an internal policy for data protection and back up. The Information Security Program Incident Response Policy includes procedures for responses to security breaches and security measures used by the institution that apply to the protection and backups of data. An Incident Response Team (IRT) along with an Incident Response Plan (IRP) are required for any incidents that involve student records. The IRPs are reviewed annually. The University’s IRT members establish processes and technical measures to triage incident events, distinguish an incident event from a declared incident, and ensure timely and thorough incident management, including data backup and recovery for cybersecurity breaches. Any security breach is to follow the university’s Information Security Program Incident Response Policy procedures. Storage of Student Files Student records are typically maintained by the University for 5 years after a student graduates or withdraws, unless a programmatically accredited agency requires additional years. The criteria for the programmatic accreditor’s storage requirements can be found on the university SharePoint drive. All programs, whether they hold a programmatic accreditation or not, are to permanently maintain enrollment agreements, financial aid records, transcripts, and grievances/conclusions. Under Section 438 of the General Provision Act (Title IV of Public Law 90-247), students age 18 and over have access to their personal record files maintained by the University. Students have continuous access to their university files through the university student portal. Files include schedules, grades, financial aid records and enrollment documents. Transcripts are held with the Registrar’s office and must be requested in accordance with the “Keiser University Transcripts” policy section in this manual. If the content of any record is believed to be in error, inaccurate, discriminatory, misleading or in violation of student rights or otherwise inappropriate, it may be challenged by the student to the Dean’s office. The request must be completed in writing through the student Keiser email account. A student’s right to due process allows for a hearing, which may be held at a reasonable time and place at which time evidence may be presented to support the challenge.
