Directory Information

FERPA authorizes the college to disclose “directory information” upon request without consent. Valencia has identified the following as directory information:

• Student’s name
• Major field of study
• Dates of attendance
• Degrees, honors and awards received

The links below are included as a quick reference to frequently referenced records related policies and procedures.

Record Integrity: Federal statutes require colleges to protect the privacy rights of student records.  Valencia College does not fax documents to institutions, agencies, or individuals, because documents transmitted utilizing fax technology cannot be secured. Additionally, most institutions do not consider documents sent to them via fax as official records.
