Person or Organization Requesting a Redacted File

Involved party 1

Agreement for a Redacted File Copy

I am formally requesting a redacted copy of my student conduct file or organizational file. I understand that a copy will take as little as seven (7) to ten (10) working days but no more than 30 working days to be processed. In some cases, the Dean of Students Office may request more time to redact a file based on other obligations at that time. I may be charged a processing fee related to printing costs and labor or asked to provide a flash drive if there is electronic information to be disseminated.

I understand that identifying information will be deleted (redacted) to the extent necessary to protect the personal privacy of individuals discussed in the letter/report, or other information contained in my file. The 1974 Family and Educational Privacy Act (FERPA) requires agencies to withhold information the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

By checking 'I agree' I am acknowledging that I am in agreement with the terms of this request for a redacted copy of my student conduct or organizational file.(Required)
