The 911 Guide is a resource for faculty, staff, teaching assistants, and graduate assistants to deal with questions and concerns related to student behavior and concerns. The guide provides specific procedures and steps to approach situations involving aggression, illness, emotional behavior, parental concerns and interpersonal violence.
Confidentiality
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prohibits the University from releasing students’ educational records to a third party, including a member of the student’s family, without the student’s prior written consent. Exceptions exist, such as health and safety emergencies and releasing to parents when they claim the student as a dependent on their tax return. In addition, UA employees with a legitimate educational interest can access student records, and employees may release information to other employees who have a legitimate educational interest.
