Non-Discrimination Policy and Compliance Statements
It has been the policy of Indiana Tech over a period of years to support measures designed to prevent discrimination against any individual student, faculty member or employee of the university for any reason.
It is the agreement of Indiana Tech with each student that enrollment signifies the student’s acceptance of the rules, regulations and procedures as found in the university catalog and student handbook. If a student cannot agree with these standards, the student is free to leave Indiana Tech.

Family Education Rights And Privacy Act (FERPA)
Official Notification Of Rights Under FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:
*A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
- The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the university receives a request for access. Students should submit to the registrar written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The registrar will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records can be inspected.
- The right to request an amendment of the student’s education record that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the university to amend a record they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the registrar, who is responsible for student records, clearly identifying the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the university decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the university will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
- The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests.* A school official is a person employed by the university in an administrative, supervisory, academic or support staff position; a person or company with whom the university has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
- The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failure by the university to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education

FERPA further provides that certain information, designated as “public information” concerning students may be released by the university. Indiana Tech has established the following student information as public or directory information, which may be disclosed by the institution at its discretion:
- Student name
- Address**
- Phone number**
- Email address
- Major field of study
- Current course load/enrollment
- Dates of attendance
- Degrees received

**While addresses and phone numbers are legally considered directory information, Indiana Tech does not release this information on a routine basis. This information is only released to campus officials, law enforcement agencies, student loan lenders, or others who have a legitimate right to the information as determined by the registrar.
Students may request that Indiana Tech withhold the release of directory information by notifying the registrar’s office in writing.
Non-Directory Information
All students are able to complete a Non-Directory Information Release Form. In accordance with FERPA and Indiana Tech policies, the form allows students to grant third party access to parents, guardians, spouse and/or others to their educational and financial records maintained by the admissions office, registrar’s office, business office and financial aid office.
Students may not select subsections of academic records to be released. In other words, a student may not give access to billing information but not to grades. The release form will cover all non-directory information. University officials may choose to not release information without obtaining specific student permission. Release of information is not required by law.
The information on the Non-Directory Information Release Form will be referenced whenever someone contacts the university on a student’s behalf. It informs university staff on whether you want information released and to whom it may be released.
If you decide that you no longer want others to access to your records, complete a new form to cancel the release.

The university will provide auxiliary aids and services* where possible to ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided the same opportunities as our students without disabilities.
If you are in need of auxiliary aids or services, please notify the Disability Services Coordinator. Additionally, if you believe that this policy has been violated by any employee of the university, please contact the Associate Vice President of Student Success. Complaints will be promptly acknowledged and investigated with the purpose of equitable resolution.
