In maintaining student records, the college complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974. FERPA is a federal law which affords students certain rights with respect to their education records, including guidelines regarding confidentiality of information. FERPA rights are accorded to ALL STUDENTS ENROLLED AT PUC regardless of age or circumstance.

FERPA provides regulations concerning a student’s education record, which consists of all records directly related to a student and maintained by PUC, with the following exceptions: your education record does not include law enforcement records, non-student employment records, medical/psychological treatment records, alumni records, or records kept in the sole possession of the maker.

According to FERPA, parents have no inherent rights to inspect a student's education record from a college or university. In compliance with this federal law, PUC will release confidential information from the student’s education records to parents only under the following circumstances:

• Upon the written consent of the student, renewed yearly. PUC provides the FERPA Privacy Form that students can sign to provide this consent.
• Upon the provision of a copy of the most recent Federal Income Tax form showing that the student was claimed as a financial dependent.
• In compliance with a lawfully issued (by judge or attorney) subpoena.
