Student Records.


The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment) seeks to open records access to students while providing protection for students of their university held records. Teachers, administrators and the like (within the same institution) may look at a student’s record if they have a “legitimate educational interest."

The following records are kept on students at AASU: Students have the right to examine their “Education” records within 45 days of a request. The university may charge you 15 cents per sheet for requested copies of records. University transcripts are free.

A student has the right to the opportunity of challenging the content of his education record and to secure the correction of inaccurate or misleading entries. The student may “insert a written explanation into his records..respecting the content of such records.” A student may challenge a grade in his record only on the grounds that it was inaccurately recorded.
