Rights through the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA)  

VCOM strives to uphold the rights of students and families set forth in the FERPA Act of 1974 and all current FERPA regulations.  The act places certain restrictions and limitations on the disclosure of personal identifiable information maintained by VCOM with respect to students, and it limits access to educational records, including the right to access, the right to obtain copies, the right to seek correction of such records through informal and formal internal procedures, and the right to place a statement in such educational records explaining any information that the student believes to be inaccurate or misleading.  VCOM has adopted a policy with respect to its student educational records consistent with the requirements of FERPA and regulations promulgated by the Act.

The entire privacy policy can be found under the "Office of the Registrar" in in the "Academic Grading, Promotion and Graduation" section of the College Catalog and Student Handbook arrow.
