FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT Cochise College shall not permit the disclosure of information from educational records or personally identifiable information contained therein other than directory information of students without the written consent of the student to any individual, agency, or organization other than in specific situations as outlined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, its amendments and the final rule of the U.S. Department of Education. Students may withhold disclosure of any directory information by submitting written notification to the Admissions Office prior to the first day of classes each semester. Failure on the part of any student to specifically request the withholding of directory information indicates individual approval for disclosure. Cochise College designates the following items as directory information: student name, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, most recent previous school attended, and photograph. The College may disclose any of those items without prior written consent, unless notified in writing to the contrary by the student in advance of any request.
