Villanova University's student records policy was established in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act (FERPA) of 1974 as amended. The complete policy can be viewed in the
current Villanova
University Catalog.
With the exception of "directory information" (as described
below), and other provisions of the policy and law that permit disclosure
without consent, all student records housed by the Office of the Registrar are
considered confidential and are protected from release to anyone but the
student. Certain provisions of the policy and law also permit access to a
student's records by his or her parents, and all students are given the
opportunity to allow access by their parents by signing and submitting a
Student
Record Parental Disclosure Form.
The following information is designated as "directory information"
and may be made publicly available. All other records (such as grades, test
scores, counseling and advising records, disciplinary records, financial aid
records, health and psychiatric records, or work-study records) are strictly
confidential, unless disclosure is permitted under a provision of the policy or
by law.

Students who do not wish directory information to be
made public must complete and submit a
Student Record Confidentiality Request
Form, along with photocopied proof of identification. A student's directory information
can only be prevented from appearing in publications compiled after the date on
which the Office of the Registrar receives the student's request form; to ensure
that your directory information is excluded from the student directory and other
annual publications, submit your request form within 10 days of when Fall
registration opens.
To revoke a confidentiality request, contact the Office of the Registrar
in person (Tolentine 202) or mail/fax a written request with photocopied proof
of identification.
Inspection and Review Rights
Current and previously-enrolled students have the right to inspect and review
their educational records. (This right does not extend to applicants, those
denied admission, or those admitted who choose not to enroll.) The University
will comply with educational record review requests within a reasonable period
of time – in no case more than 45 days. The University may require that the
request be submitted in writing. Additionally, though not required, the Office
of the Registrar may inquire as to the reason for the request.
