[3-9] Education Record


Any record (in handwriting, print, tape, film, electronic, or other medium) maintained by WSU or an agent of the university, which is directly related to a student except:

  1. A personal record kept by a staff member if it is kept in the sole possession of the maker of the record and is not accessible or revealed to any other person except a temporary substitute for the maker of the record.
  2. An employment record of an individual, whose employment is not contingent on the fact that he or she is a student, provided the record is used only in relation to the individual’s employment.
  3. Campus Security Records. Records used in official disciplinary proceedings that result in conduct sanctions are considered education records. Original security records do not become education records merely because they may be passed along to school officials for possible disciplinary action.
  4. Records maintained by Health Services if the records are used only for treatment of a student and made available only to those persons providing the treatment.
  5. Alumni records which contain information about a student after he or she is no longer in attendance at WSU and which do not relate to the person as a student.
