Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Chapter 132M-113 WAC, Access to student records, and chapter 132M-160 WAC, Admission, registration, graduation, repeal and replace with college policy and procedures as they are duplicative of college polices, state board for community and technical colleges rules, and federal laws.
