NOTIFICATION OF STUDENT RIGHTS NOTIFICATION OF STUDENT RIGHTS (02/17) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, Sec.438, PUB.L. 90-247, as amended, sets forth requirements governing protection of students’ right to privacy in their education records and affords them a right to inspect such records. A copy of this legislation is on file in the Learning Resource Center. The College may disclose the following personally identifiable information from a student’s education records: 1. Student’s name 2. Participation in officially recognized activities and sports 3. Weight and height of members of athletic teams 4. Degrees, honors and awards received 5. Major field of study 6. Dates of attendance 7. Grade Level 8. The most recent educational agency or institution attended 9. Number of credit hours enrolled 10. Photos This information may be disclosed by the College without the prior consent of the student unless a written request is made to the Admissions Office or the student sets appropriate privacy settings in the Student Information System before such time as the College is asked to make such disclosure. In any case, the College may disclose directory information from the education records of an individual who is no longer in attendance at the College. Students having questions pertaining FERPA may contact the College Registrar. OUTSTANDING FINANCIAL OBLIGATION (03/13) Outstanding financial obligations must be satisfied before a student can re-enroll for succeeding semesters. If a student owes an outstanding financial obligation, the negative service indicator will be removed immediately if the student pays by cash or credit card. If the
obligation is paid by check, the indicator will not be removed for 5 business days to allow sufficient time for the funds to clear the bank. RETURNED CHECKS AND DISHONORED CREDIT/DEBIT CARD FEES (04/14) Danville Community College will charge fees for returned checks and dishonored credit/debit cards in compliance with VCCS policy Section 4.2.3.1. The college must assess a $35 service charge for handling returned checks or dishonored credit card or debit card payments when the account is not in past due collection status. The college must assess a $50 service charge for handling returned check or dishonored credit card or debit card payments when the account is in past due collection status. Collection of returned check charges shall be deposited to the State or local funds depending on the fund of the bad check. SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT (02/17) Disclosure of your social security number is not required, but it is highly recommended. Disclosure ultimately will be required for most students at the time of enrollment, per § 6050S of the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, or at the time of disbursement of federal financial aid, per 34 Code of Federal Regulations Part 668.36. Section 23-2.2:1 of the Code of Virginia also authorizes the Virginia Community College System to collect student social security numbers and other personally identifiable information prior to a student’s enrollment, and requires it to electronically transmit enrollment data to the State Police. However, the VCCS will only use your social security number in accordance with federal and state reporting requirements, and for identification purposes within the VCCS. It shall not permit further disclosure unless required or authorized by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, or pursuant to your obtained consent. www.danville.edu • 37
