Article 3—Academic Policies and Regulations
Part 6. Student Records—Guidelines and Regulations Governing
Access and Release
§ 3-601 Authorization and Responsibility for Policy Implementation
(a) It is University policy to comply fully with the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (the Act) as amended. On November
13, 1974, the Board of Trustees authorized the President of the
University to promulgate guidelines and regulations for discharge
of the University’s obligation under the Act to identify the
responsibility for its implementation. The integrated nature of
our administrative information systems means that some student information
could be accessible throughout the University of Illinois. The University
of Illinois will not disclose student record information that it
maintains except as provided by law.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in these Guidelines and Regulations,
the responsibility for implementation of the Act is assigned to
the Chancellor. Among these responsibilities are:
(1) publication of parents’ and students’ rights
and procedures under the Act;
(2) publication of the types of records kept and the names of
the persons in charge;
(3) notification to students of directory information categories
that may be released without the student’s consent in each
individual instance; and
(4) notification of a reasonable period of time during which
currently enrolled students may indicate that any or all items
of directory information should not be released without the student’s
prior consent.
(c) The Chancellor shall designate persons to perform the necessary
functions.
