Procedure to Inspect and Retrieve Education Records

Under FERPA, students have the right to inspect and review their education records. A student who wishes to inspect and review their records should submit a written request to the University Registrar. Students have the option to inspect their records at the University’s San Diego, California location and must present photo identification before access to educational records is allowed. A designated University official must be present when a student wishes to review their records at the San Diego, California location.

For students who cannot reasonably travel to the University’s San Diego, California location, copies of records from a student’s file can be made available; the student must fill out and submit the ‘Request for Educational Records’ form.

All records requests will be responded to within 14 days from the date of receipt of the request. If the requested records are subject to inspection and review by the student, arrangements for access will be made within a reasonable period of time, but in no case more than 45 calendar days after the request was made.

The cost of obtaining copies, whether paper or electronic, is $1.25 per page, payable in advance.
