If a student believes his/her educational records contain information that is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's rights of privacy, the student may ask the college to amend the record. Requests for amendment must be submitted to college individual(s) or office(s) having custody of the particular record. The college individual(s) or office(s) having custody of the particular record will review the request and may consult other college personnel who participated in the creation of the record to determine whether to grant the request for amendment.

(2) If the college decides not to amend the education record as requested, the college will notify the student in writing within a reasonable time after receiving the request for amendment.
