Pursuant to the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and provisions of state law relating to public record disclosure, the University of California Policies applying to the Disclosure of Information from Student Records and the San Francisco campus implementation of that policy assure San Francisco students the right:

1. To inspect and review their student records;

2. To have withheld from disclosure, absent their prior consent, personally identifiable information from their student records;

3. To inspect records maintained by the campus of disclosures and personally identifiable information from their student records;

4. To seek correction of their records through a request to amend the records, or a request for a hearing to challenge the content of their records, or to include a written statement therein; and

5. To file complaints with the Associate Vice Chancellor, Student Academic Affairs or with the Department of Education regarding violations of the rights accorded by federal law or University policy.

Campus policy also defines “public records” which may be released without prior consent, describes the right of access to records of applicants who have not been admitted or enrolled at the San Francisco campus, and describes the conditions under which students may waive the right of access to their record. Copies of the campus policy are available in the Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and the Graduate Division. In addition, each campus unit which maintains student records shall have available written procedures indicating the types of student records maintained; the officials responsible for maintenance; the procedures for granting access to records; the procedures for reviewing and correcting and/or challenging the content of records; the cost, if any, which will be charged for copies; the categories of information made available as public information; and the manner in which students may request that information about them not be released as public information.
