FERPA Notification

Annually, Ogeechee Technical College informs students of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). 

This Act, with which OTC intends to comply fully, was designed to protect the privacy of educational records, establish the rights of students to inspect and review their educational records, and provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students also have the right to file complaints with the Family Policy Compliance Office concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply with the Act. 

Directory Information may normally be provided upon request to any interested third party. However, if a student elects to place a Restriction on his/her records, no Directory Information may be provided without the student's written permission. A FERPA Restriction also means that a student's name would not be included in any news releases concerning President's Lists, Honor Lists, graduation honors, or be included in a commencement program. A Restriction also prohibits the release of information to employers, potential employers, insurance providers, lending providers, and other entities unless the Office of the Registrar receives a signed release from the student. 

The Technical College System of Georgia and its technical colleges define "directory information" as follows: 

            1. “Public directory information” is as follows:

Full name of student 

City of residence

Enrollment Status (full time, part time, etc.) 

County of residence 

Major and field(s) of study 

Degree and awards and date received  

Dates of attendance 

Participation in official sports and activities 

Height and weight of athletic team members 

            2.  “Non-public directory information” as follows:

Address

Email address

Telephone number

Non-public directory information is not available to the public but is available to any College official.  If the student has indicated to restrict their date, the College officials can only access the information when it is needed for education purposes.  

If you need to place a Restriction on your record, you may do so by filling out the Objection to Release Student Directory Information Form which is available via your eTrieve account. 

Further information is available at:  https://www.ogeecheetech.edu/admissions/ferpa

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at otcregistrar@ogeecheetech.edu.  Inquiries will only be responded to that are sent from an OTC student email account.
