RELEASE OF STUDENT INFORMATION
In general, the policy of the Nebraska Indian Community College is to keep student records confidential. It is the intention of the college to fully comply with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 2002, Section 507 of Public Law 107-56; as amended April 12, 2002, in response to the terrorist attacks on the United States that took place on September 11, 2001. The college has established policies and procedures to implement compliance.
Our Admission Policy reinforces that any knowledge the institution has about the student (such as age or handicap) cannot be used to bar admission.
