Family Education Rights & Privacy Act
The following information concerning student records maintained by San Jacinto College is published in compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).

The College gives access to records only to those persons and agencies that the Privacy Act specifies, and the College will keep a record of all persons who receive access.

The College will release only directory information without a student's consent, including high school dual credit students who are minors. Directory information includes:

Marital status
Major and minor

A student may ask that this information be withheld from the public on their application for admission or in a written request to the Registrar’s office. The student may make this request at any time. Once a student has requested that directory information be withheld, no information will be released except with written approval from the student.

School officials (faculty, administrators, and staff, including part-time and student workers) may have access to student records when a legitimate educational interest exists. Students wanting their parent, friend, or other individual to access or obtain their records should give that person a signed release specifying what they need and a photocopy of the student’s picture ID.
