Student Right to Know
The Student Right to Know Act requires an institution that participates in any student financial assistance program under Title IV of Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended) to disclose information about graduation rates to current and prospective students . The Higher Education Act of 1992 required that these same institutions report this data to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) through completion of the IPEDS graduation rate survey. Information about Tooele Tech (including student body diversity, completion, retention, graduation and financial aid performance rates) can be easily accessed through which is a service provided by the National Center for Education Statistics.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records. (An 鈥渆ligible student鈥 under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a post-secondary institution at any age.) These rights include:
The right to inspect and review the student鈥檚 education records within 45 days after the day Tooele Tech receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The registrar will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
The right to request the amendment of the student鈥檚 education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student鈥檚 privacy rights under FERPA.
A student who wishes to ask Tooele Tech to amend a record should write the registrar, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed.
If Tooele Tech decides not to amend the record as requested, Tooele Tech will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student鈥檚 right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
The right to provide written consent before Tooele Tech discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the student鈥檚 education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
Tooele Tech discloses education records without a student鈥檚 prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official typically includes a person employed by the Tooele Tech in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position; a person serving on the board of trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee. A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor outside of the Tooele Tech who performs an institutional service or function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official typically has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the Tooele Tech.
Upon request, Tooele Tech also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

Clery Act Information
In 1990, the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) was amended to include the Crime Awareness and College Security Act of 1990 (Title II of Public Law 101- 542). This amendment required all postsecondary institutions participating in Title IV student financial aid programs to disclose College crime statistics and security information. In 1998, the act was renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of College Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act in memory of Jeanne Clery, a university student who was killed in her dorm room in 1986. More commonly known as the Clery Act, this law requires colleges and universities to:
- Collect, classify and count crime reports and statistics
- Issue College alerts
- Publish an annual security report
- Submit crime statistics to the Department of Education
- Maintain a daily crime log
- Disclose missing student notification procedures for institutions with on-campus student housing
- Provide fire safety information for institutions with on-campus student housing
Under the Clery Act, the on-campus category includes the following: Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area and used by the institution in direct support of, or in a manner related to, the institution鈥檚 educational purposes, including residence halls; and Any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to the area identified in paragraph (1) of this definition, that is owned by the institution but controlled by another person, is frequently used by students, and supports institutional purposes (such as a food or other retail vendor).
The College strictly maintains and enforces the safety and security of the campus community. The College complies with safety and security guidelines by the Crime Awareness and Security Act of 1990; The U.S Department of Education; State and Local Laws and local law enforcement agencies; and various publications.

The College has zero tolerance policy regarding immoral conduct and enforces campus safety and security regulations pertaining to verbal, sexual, and physical harassment of a fellow student or staff member as well as threat of physical violence against a fellow student or staff member.
The College does not employ College security officials. The security of the College is the direct responsibility of each employee and the Facility Manager. No such individuals have the authority to make arrests.
Disciplinary Actions Against Those Who Commit Sexual Assault
