Enriching the Mind, Inspiring the Heart

Arlington Baptist College abides by the Family Educational Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) (2 U.S.C. 1232g) which designates certain actions and policies designed to protect the privacy of students and their parents. The act specifically governs access to student records maintained by the College and the release of such information. The act requires the College to provide student access to official records directly related to themselves and to provide an opportunity for a hearing to challenge the accuracy of records, although this right does not include the right to challenge the appropriateness of a grade as determined by an instructor. The act generally requires that the student grant written consent for the release of personally identifiable data about the student from college-maintained records (such as transcripts). Students are provided this information in detail at registration.
