The Registrar is the custodian of student records at the
University, and will fulfill ad hoc requests for data derived from student
records.
Access to Student Records
A number of federal and state laws govern access and privacy
of information maintained in university files. Access to student records is
restricted and is governed by the
Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and the
University of California Policies Applying to the Disclosure of Information from Student Records.
Access to student records is given:
- to the individual student;
- to university employees with legitimate educational interest;
- to third parties with the written permission of the student;
- by exception under the law.
A campus official is deemed to have a legitimate educational
interest if access to student records is required in order to perform assigned job duties. More
information on legitimate educational interest may be found by visiting
University of California Policies Applying to the Disclosure of Information from
Student Records, section 130.290.
Certain information in student records has been identified as public
information, unless restricted by the student. Public information may be
disclosed to any party without the prior written consent of the student, unless
the student has requested in writing that the information be withheld. Further
information may be found by visiting our page on
Privacy and Student Records.
You may access student records only as required to perform assigned duties.
You are personally liable for releasing confidential information from student
records without authorization. Violation of confidentiality and privacy laws and
policies may result in disciplinary action and/or dismissal from the University.

Systems Access.
