Hearings to Challenge Accuracy of Records

If, upon inspection and review of his or her record, the student believes that the record is inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of his or her privacy rights, he or she may ask that the record be changed or may insert a statement in the file.

Should the request for a change be denied, the student will be notified of the college’s decision and advised of the right to a hearing to challenge the information believed to be inaccurate, misleading or in violation of the student’s privacy rights. The student has 30 days to appeal the decision to the vice president of student affairs and ask for a hearing.

On behalf of academic/student affairs, either the vice president of student affairs or another appointed hearing officer shall conduct a hearing at which the student shall be afforded a full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the issues raised in the original request to amend the student’s education records. The student may be assisted by one or more individuals, including an attorney. The hearing officer will consider only challenges to the accuracy of the records. Hence, if a grade has allegedly been incorrectly recorded on a student’s transcript, the accuracy of the record may be challenged.

The hearing officer shall prepare a written decision based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing. The decision will include a summary of the evidence presented and the reasons for the decision. The decision of the hearing officer shall be final, save for any review that may be granted by the president of OFTC.

If OFTC decides that the challenged information is not inaccurate, misleading or in violation of the student’s right of privacy, it will notify the student of the right to place in the record a statement commenting on the challenged information and a statement setting forth reasons for disagreeing with the decision. Such a statement shall become a part of the information contained in the education record and will be disclosed with it.

A student may make a specific waiver of access to evaluations solicited and/or received under condition of confidentiality.
