Education Record

Any record that is directly related to a student and maintained by UVA or a party acting for UVA. Exceptions to this definition include but are not limited to:

  2. Law enforcement or campus security records that are solely for law enforcement purposes and maintained solely by the law enforcement unit.
  3. Records relating to the employment of students by the institution (unless the employment is contingent on their status as students).
  4. Treatment records maintained by the UVA Student Health Center or other UVA student health clinic and disclosed only to individuals providing treatment (such records become subject to FERPA if they are being disclosed to anyone for non-treatment purposes, and also are subject to other privacy laws and regulations).
  5. Records of an institution that contain information about an individual obtained only after that person is no longer a student at that institution, i.e., alumni records.
  6. Grades on peer-graded papers before they are collected and recorded by an instructor.
