to the Registrar’s Office,<br />

the student believes are inaccurate or misleading (Students should<br />
submit a written statement to the Registrar’s Office which will be<br />
placed in their academic file. Applicants who are not admitted to the<br />
<strong>School</strong> or who do not matriculate following admission have no right <strong>of</strong><br />
access to their submitted educational records.),<br />
• to have some control over the disclosure <strong>of</strong> information from their<br />
education records.<br />

individuals within the <strong>Adler</strong> <strong>School</strong> educational community to whom the Act<br />
allows access, without the student’s written consent, except in the case that the<br />
request qualifies within one <strong>of</strong> the legal exceptions. To release your information<br />
