PRIVACY ACT RIGHTS

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:

( l) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University received a request for ac- cess. Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department or other appropriate official. written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. (2) The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. (Grade appeals are administered under separate University policy.) If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the requests for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. (3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interest. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (in­ cluding law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attor­ ney, auditor, National Student Clearinghouse, Credentials, Inc. or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Tmstees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the University discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. (4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Eastern Illinois University to comply with the requirement of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office U. S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-4605

"Sometimes it might take some research to figure out what you want to do, but there is definitely a lot of things to do. It just might not be the things you automatically think of." One popular hotspot that is also a good place to study is the Jackson Avenue Coffee. Located at 708 Jackson Ave., the coffee shop is known for its peaceful atmosphere as well as having live bands and open mic nights. "I love Jackson Avenue Coffee," said Megan Stepp, a graduate student for the Office of Orientation. "It's has a big-city-coffee-shop feel, and it has such a relaxing atmosphere." The Will Rogers Theaters on the Charleston Square is also a good place to see movies heap, especially since most college students aren't exactly known for being weighed down with cash. Although it only shows two movies at a time, the costs of tickets are next to nothing. Right now the theater is showing "Monster House" and "John Tucker Must Die." One of the most talked about events at Eastern is the Thursday Night Bingo at the local Moose Lodge. Students will show up to the Lodge every week hoping to win the coveted $500 grand prize.
