学生有权查阅和修改自己的成绩

The institution may refuse to provide a copy of a student's education record provided such refusal does not limit access.

学生 may request that their education records be amended if they believe such information is inaccurate, 误读, 或者侵犯隐私权. 学生必须以书面形式要求保存这些记录的办公室修改这些记录. 学生 should identify the part of the records they want corrected and specify why they believe it is inaccurate, 误导或侵犯隐私权.

This statement will be maintained as part of the education record as long as the contested portion of the record is maintained.

首先，美国.S. 美国总审计长.S. 司法部长，美国.S. 教育部长, or state and local education authorities ("Federal and State Authorities") may allow access to a student’s records and PII without the student’s consent to any third party designated by a Federal or State Authority to evaluate a federal- or state-supported education program. The evaluation may relate to any program that is "principally engaged in the provision of education,比如幼儿教育和职业培训, 以及任何由教育机构或机构管理的课程.

第二个, Federal and State Authorities may allow access to a student’s education records and PII without consent of the student to researchers performing certain types of studies, 在某些情况下，即使本笃学院反对或不要求这样的研究. Federal and State Authorities must obtain certain use-restriction and data security promises from the entities that they authorize to receive a student’s PII, 但当局不需要对这些实体保持直接控制.

除了, 与全州纵向数据系统有关, 国家当局可以收取, 编译, 永久保留, 未经学生同意分享学生教育记录中的个人身份信息, and they may track student participation in education and other programs by linking such PII to other personal information about the student that they obtain from other Federal or State data sources, 包括劳动力发展, 失业保险, 儿童福利, 少年司法, 服兵役, 以及移民学生档案系统.
