50-21 Student Privacy

Policy Description

Under Student Privacy Policy 50-21, Florence-Darlington Technical College is committed to protecting the privacy of all students, including students enrolled in distance and correspondence education courses or programs, by preserving student information according to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, and the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education (SBTCE) Policy 4-4-105. All employees who work with student information are required to participate in annual FERPA training coordinated by Human Resources and adhere to the guidelines that have been established for distance and correspondence education courses or programs, which are delivered via our learning management system, Desire to Learn (D2L). In addition, students are notified annually regarding FERPA and the protection of their records.
