Student’s paper and electronic information is considered confidential pursuant to FERPA, and is kept secured. Information about disabilities and the use of accommodations is only used to arrange accommodations with other staff and faculty on a need to know basis, and is not recorded on any DCC school record or transcript. In accordance with FERPA, disability related documents will not be released to persons who are not school officials without written consent of the student, unless a FERPA exemption applies.
Documentation and student disability records are confidentially purged after 7 years of inactivity at DCC.
