Academic Oversight of Student Educational Records
Accuracy and Compliance: The Registrar’s Office’s Crucial Role in Maintaining Student Records and Information
The Registrar’s Office maintains information regarding students’ academic progress at Red Lake Nation College, including grade reports and permanent academic records. The Registrar’s Office collects and maintains current and accurate student information, such as tribal enrollment status, address, program of study, and names of academic advisor(s). This information is required by the federal government for determination of funding, so any changes of personal data, such as change of address, change of program, or change of advisor, should be reported to the Registrar’s Office.
We require a written authorization (FERPA Release of Information Form linked at right) signed by the student, before releasing information such as student grades, transcripts, and other data, in compliance with the Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA), which governs the privacy of student records.
