ANNUAL NOTICE TO STUDENTS
Annually, Abilene Christian University informs students of the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This act,
with which the institution intends to comply fully, was designated to
protect the privacy of educational records, to establish the right of
students to inspect and review their education records, and to provide
guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through
informal and formal hearings. Students also have the right to file
complaints with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act office
(FERPA) concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply
with the Act.
Local policy explains in detail the procedures to be used by the
institution for compliance with the provisions of the Act. Copies
of the policy can be found in the Campus Life office.
Questions concerning the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act may be referred to the Campus Life office.
DISCLOSURE OF STUDENT RECORDS
In general, no personally identifiable information from a student's
education records will be disclosed without written consent from the
student. This includes, but is not limited to, grade reports, academic
schedule information and transcripts. Two exceptions may, however,
be made: (1) directory information will be released unless the student
requests that it be withheld, as explained in the section below;
(2) records may be disclosed to parents of students who depend
upon them as defined by Internal Revenue Code 1986, Section 152.
PUBLIC NOTICE DESIGNATING DIRECTORY INFORMATION
Abilene Christian University hereby designates student information
listed below as public or "Directory Information." Such information
may be disclosed by the institution for any purpose, at its discretion.
* Name, classification, major field of study, address, email address,
local residence, telephone number.
* Previous institutions attended, dates of attendance, full-time or
part-time status, awards, honors (including Dean's Honor Roll),
degree(s) conferred (including dates), church affiliation, past and
present participation in officially recognized sports and activities,
physical factors (height, weight of athletes), photograph, date
and place of birth.
Currently enrolled students may withhold disclosure of "Directory
Information" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of
1974. To withhold disclosures, written notification must be received
in the Campus Life office within 12 calendar days from the first day
of registration for a long term and within four days for a summer
term. Forms requesting the withholding of "Directory Information"
are available in the Campus Life office. Abilene Christian University
assumes that failure on the part of any student to specifically request
the withholding of categories of "Directory Information" indicates
individual approval for disclosure.

state non-discrimination laws and does not engage in prohibited
discrimination on the basis of race, color, nationality or ethnic origin,gender, age, or disability, including qualified disabled veterans and
