Policies & student rights

1. The right to inspect and review education records

Eligible students have the right to inspect and review their education records within 45 days of the day the FGLM Academy or the FGLM Career Institute receives a request for access. Students should submit a written request to the school that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The school will arrange access and notify the student of the time and place the records may be inspected.

2. The right to request amendment of education records

Eligible students have the right to request that inaccurate or misleading education records be corrected. Students should submit a written request to the school, clearly identifying the part of the record they want changed and why. If the school decides not to amend the record, the student will be notified of the decision and their right to a hearing.

3. The right to consent to disclosure

Eligible students have the right to provide written consent before the school discloses personally identifiable information from their education records, except to the extent FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent -- including to school officials with a legitimate educational interest, or upon transfer to another school in which the student seeks or intends to enroll.

4. Directory information opt-out

The school may designate certain information as "directory information" (such as name, dates of attendance, and program of study) that may be disclosed without consent unless the student notifies the school in writing that they do not want this information released.

5. The right to file a complaint

Eligible students have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the school to comply with FERPA's requirements. The office that administers FERPA is:
