Blue Mountain Community College

The college abides by and honors all state and federal laws pertaining to the privacy and confidentiality of directory information and academic records. If they choose to do so, students have the right to restrict access to specific information.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) grants students certain rights, privileges, and protections relative to individually identifiable student educational records that are maintained by BMCC. Specifically:

• FERPA allows colleges to disclose your directory information without consent. If you do not want this information released, you must notify the nearest BMCC office and complete and sign a non-release form.
• Directory information includes students' full name, address, email address, telephone number, date and place of birth, field of study, class level, dates of attendance and degrees, honors and awards, athletic participation (the height and weight of team members), and the most recent previous educational institution attended.
• Students have the right to inspect and review their own individual educational records. Students have the right to challenge information contained in individually identifiable educational records.
• Students’ educational records (with the exception of directory information) will be released to third parties only with the written consent of the student.
