Students who attend college are considered to be adults, protected by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). College staff cannot talk to parents about confidential information, including academic activities, without the student’s signed consent. Parents need to talk to the student directly. Students act as responsible adults when disclosing disabilities and requesting accommodations.
It is the student’s responsibility to know and understand the college’s documentation policy.
Documentation should be current, verify the disability, describe the extent/severity of the impairment, provide information on the functional impact of the disability, and offer college appropriate recommendations.
Many students with mild or moderate deficits were identified as students with special needs in primary or secondary school and received accommodations that may not be appropriate for college level work, or they may not qualify for accommodations under ADA or Section 504.
Confidentiality
Although the college endeavors to respect the student’s right to privacy, disclosure of the impact and nature of the disability to school officials, including faculty, may occur in an effort to support the student.
No information or records regarding the disability are released to outside interests, including parents, without the student’s consent. With this in mind, students must be ready to have a conversation with individual faculty members regarding the impact of the disability. Parents should understand that they may not learn a great deal from college staff. This is done in compliance with FERPA to protect the student and to make a deliberate effort to win his/her trust. In this way, students learn to better understand and articulate their needs to others who are in a position to help and guide them.
