Student's Right to Privacy

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of a student’s educational records by placing limits on whom may have access to the records, what information may be shared or disclosed, and how that information may be used. San Bernardino Valley College complies with FERPA and has strict policies and procedures in place governing student records. Because concurrently enrolled high school participating in the GenerationGo! Program students are considered college students (even if underage), San Bernardino Valley College does not permit access to their educational records or disclose information to anyone (including parents and/or legal guardians). This means that if calling, emailing, or visiting SBVC to get any kind of student record information, students MUST be the person of contact. We cannot give any student record information to parents or guardians, regardless of the student's age. General program questions are welcomed by anyone.
