Student Conduct Process: https://www.dso.ufl.edu/sccr/process/student-conduct-honor-code/ Academic Integrity Module: https://www.dso.ufl.edu/sccr/seminars-modules/academic-integrity-module Confidentiality of Student Records The university assures the confidentiality of student educational records in accordance with State University System rules, state statutes and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, known as the Buckley Amendment. Directory information is that information which can be released to the public on any student. It is limited to name, class, college and major; dates of attendance; degree(s) earned; honors and awards received; local, permanent and e-mail addresses; telephone number; most recent previous educational institution attended; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; and the weight and height of members of athletics teams. Currently enrolled students who wish to withhold information in these categories should complete a Restriction of Directory Information form, available from the Office of the University Registrar. In general, present or former students have the right to review their own educational records for information and to determine accuracy. A photo I.D. or other equivalent documentation or personal recognition by the custodian of record will be required before access is granted. Parents of dependent students, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, have these same rights upon presentation of proof of the student's dependent status. Grade Posting Policy The Office of Management in the U.S. Department of Education has issued a finding that the public posting of student grades the last four digits of social security numbers or university student identification numbers violates the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Consequently, faculty should not post student grades in this manner. Several alternative methods to communicate grades to students may be employed, and are suggested below: Institute a web-based system that allows students to look- up grades. The system should be secured by Gatorlink username and password. Faculty using Web-CT may consult with Doug Johnson (wanderer@ufl.edu) in the Office of Academic Technology for technical assistance to accomplish this. Faculty using other course management systems should consult with their designated technical support personnel. [Important note: Faculty may not create web sites containing confidential student information that are not encrypted and password-protected.]
