The information in this Information Booklet is current at the time of publication. Curricula, courses, degree requirements, fees, and policies are subject to constant review. Specific details may vary from the statements printed here without further notice.

PRIVACY OF STUDENT RECORDS

Kentucky State University hereby notifies students concerning the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. This Act, with which the institution intends to comply fully, is designed to protect the privacy of educational records, to establish the right of students to inspect or review their educational records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccuracies or misleading information. The University has adopted a policy which explains in detail the procedures to be used by the University for compliance with the provisions of the Act and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto. Copies of the policy are published in the student K-Book and can be obtained from the Office of Student Affairs. Questions concerning the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 may be referred to the Registrar.

NOTIFICATION OF RIGHTS UNDER FERPA FOR POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTIONS

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:

The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access.

Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the students of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading.

Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the University official responsible for the records, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.

If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for the amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agency); a person serving on the Board of Regents; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

Upon request, the University discloses educational records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

(NOTE: FERPA requires an institution to make a reasonable attempt to notify the student of the records request unless the institution states in its annual notification that it intends to forward records on request.)

The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Kentucky State University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:

A withdrawal/drop is complete when the necessary form(s) have been completed and returned to the designated office.

If you forget your PIN, you will need to contact the Admission office. Admission's phone number is (502) 597-6813.

CONTINUING STUDENTS

Your "User ID" is your student identification number. Your initial PIN is your birth date in the form of mmddyy. For example, a birth date of February 3, 1971 would be entered as 020371. Your PIN is a 6-digit number, which will function like a password. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PIN NUMBER AFTER YOU ENTER THE SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME.
