Internal access to files/transcripts

It is the policy of the Law School to restrict access to any student files/transcripts to those staff members and faculty having a legitimate administrative or educational purpose for such inspection. Therefore, files/transcripts of matriculated or graduated students may not be examined by anyone without the written consent of the student involved, with the exception of the following:

• the dean and the administrative staff;
• the Faculty Petitions Committee;
• the Faculty Admissions Committee;
• the Faculty Committee on Scholarships and Awards;
• the Hearing Board and Appeals Board on student misconduct;
• such persons or faculty committees as the dean authorizes for legitimate administrative or educational purposes.

A log is kept in each file stating the name, date, and reason for inspection of each person reviewing the file. Students enrolled in the Law School are not given access to files of other students except as provided below. A student employed as a member of the staff may be authorized as part of his or her duties to have access to student files/transcripts classified as "academic records" as set forth above. Such access is only for clerical purposes and is limited to the files/transcripts of students not currently enrolled. Any information so obtained is to be regarded as confidential and may not be disclosed except in furtherance of those assigned duties.
