These rights include:</p> <p>1.<span> </span><strong>Right to Inspect and Review</strong>: Students have the right to inspect and review their education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access.</p> <p>Students should submit a request in writing that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect to the University Privacy Officer or the office holding the records. Arrangements will be made thereafter to determine the place and time where the student will be provided access to inspect the identified records.</p> <p>2.<span> </span><strong>Right to Request Amendments</strong>: Students have the right to request amendment of their education records when the student believes the content of those records contains inaccurate information.</p> <p>To request an amendment, a student should send a written communication to the University official responsible for the record which clearly identifies the inaccuracy. Please note that this process is intended only to correct inaccurately<span> </span><em>recorded</em><span> </span>information, and not to challenge substantive decisions which are correctly recorded. The University makes the final determination as to whether or not the information recorded in the record should be amended. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of the right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.
