identifying the specific information to be reviewed. Should a student find, upon review, that records
that are inaccurate or misleading, the student may request that errors to be corrected. In the event that
a difference of opinion exists regarding the existence of errors, a student may ask that a meeting be held
to resolve the matter. Each student's file will contain student's records, including a transcript of grades
earned. The first copy of the official transcript is provided at no charge. Subsequent copies are available
upon advance payment of the transcript fee of $25.00 for two copies. Transcripts will only be released
to the student upon receipt of a written request bearing the student's live signature. No transcript will
be issued until all tuition and other fees due the institution are paid current.
Privacy Act
It is this institution’s intent to carefully follow the rules applicable under the Family Education Rights and

records. We will not release such information to any individual without having first received the
student’s written request to do so, or unless otherwise required by law.
