What this law does
All student records and applicant records held by the University of Florida, including academic, counseling and disciplinary records, are confidential, except that directory information may be released without the student's consent unless the student has requested nondisclosure of directory information. A student record or an applicant record includes a record maintained by a party acting on behalf of the university.
Information in student records other than directory information is open for inspection only by the student, the parents of a dependent student, professional staff with a legitimate educational interest, or as otherwise provided by law, and custodians may release information from student and applicant records only on the student's or applicant's written and dated authorization or as otherwise provided by law.
Each vice president is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of student and applicant records in that vice president's area. Counseling, disciplinary and academic records are maintained separately.
The University of Florida adopted the regulation under Board of Governors Regulation 1.001, and section 1001.706 of the Florida Statutes recognizes the authority of the Board of Governors to adopt a regulation development procedure for university boards of trustees to use in implementing their constitutional duties.
