Students must be provided access to official records directly related to them. This does not include private records maintained by instructional, supervisory, or administrative personnel. Students who wish to see their records must make an appointment through the Baker University office. Students may not remove any materials but are entitled, at their own expense, to one copy of any material contained in their files.

Students must be given the opportunity for a hearing to challenge such records on the grounds that they are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate. The right to a hearing under law does not include any right to challenge the appropriateness of a grade as determined by the faculty member.

The student’s written consent must be received prior to releasing identifiable data from the records to anyone.

Baker University is authorized under the act to release public directory information concerning students. Directory information may include the student’s name, home address, home telephone number, email address, date and place of birth, degree program, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, and any other information authorized in writing by the student. Directory information is subject to release by Baker University at any time.

Baker University is authorized to provide access to student records to Baker University officials and employees who have legitimate educational interests in such access; these are persons who have responsibilities in Baker University’s academic, administrative, or service functions.
