Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

Keeping your record correct and up to date is important to you because it can help in reaching you in an emergency, forwarding mail, and computing grades. In the course of an application for enrollment, AHDPG compiles a number of important records including:

• Grades
• Payment records
• Attendance records
• Disciplinary records
• Placement records
• Contact information

Students may inspect and review their educational records upon request. A written request to review records should be submitted to the student’s instructor, identifying as precisely as possible the information wished to be inspected. If errors or inaccuracies are found on review, a student may submit a written request to have information amended. If a resolution is not reached, the student may request a hearing with Mr. Peter Reilly, President, and CEO, [email protected].

AHDPG will not release any personal information about students to outside individuals or agencies without prior written permission of the student, excluding information required to be provided under State or Federal laws, or auditors or researchers. Certain information is not considered to violate the rights of privacy. Therefore, AHDPG is permitted to routinely release this information unless asked, in writing, by a student not to do so. Many employers may contact AHDPG and seek information before extending an offer of employment to a recent graduate.
