Student Records

Upon receipt of the application for admission from the prospective student, a student record file is established. This student record file, maintained by the College or parties acting on its behalf, is used throughout the student’s enrollment and contains data directly related to the student’s admission and academic progress. All official documents become the property of the college; copies of these documents are not provided nor later released to the student. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the Records Office of name, address, or other directory information changes.

Student record files are maintained in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and the North Carolina Community College System Records Retention and Disposition Schedule. The contents of the student record file include: admission applications, residency status, official transcripts of the student’s previous educational record, placement test results (where applicable), credit awarded for prior learning, academic progress, credentials awarded, information disclosure forms, and correspondence relative to admission and academic progress.
