Access to Confidential Information by Students

Students may have access to the confidential information in their own educational records by submitting a written request to the Student Success Center, subject to exceptions under the law. The College will comply with the request within 45 days.

On request, the College will provide students with a list of the types of education records kept, including directory and confidential information.

Richland may provide copies of education records to students at the students’ expense and will respond to reasonable requests for explanations and interpretations of their records. Copies of transcripts from high schools or other colleges that are on file cannot be provided. Students also have the right to a hearing to challenge any portion of their education records. Requests for a hearing should be directed to the Vice President of Student Success.
