2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s<br />
education records that the student believes<br />
are inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation<br />
of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA.<br />
A student who wishes to ask the institution to<br />
amend a record should write to the Registrar,<br />
clearly identify the part of the record the student<br />
wants changed, and specify why it should be<br />
changed.<br />
If the institution decides not to amend the record<br />
as requested, the institution will notify the student<br />
in writing of the decision and the student’s right to<br />
a hearing regarding the request for amendment.<br />
Additional information regarding the hearing procedures<br />

institution discloses personally identifiable information<br />
from the student’s education records, except<br />
to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure<br />
without consent.<br />
The institution discloses education records without<br />
a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA<br />

legitimate educational interests. A school official is<br />
a person employed by the institution in an administrative,<br />
supervisory, academic or research, or<br />
support staff position (including law enforcement<br />
unit personnel and health staff); a person or company<br />
with whom the institution has contracted as<br />
its agent to provide a service instead of using institution<br />
employees or officials (such as an attorney,<br />
auditor or collection agent); a person serving<br />
the institution in an advisory capacity; or a student<br />
serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary<br />
or grievance committee, or assisting another<br />
school official in performing his or her tasks.<br />
A school official has a legitimate educational interest<br />
if the official needs to review an education<br />
record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities<br />
for the institution.<br />
Upon request, the institution also discloses education<br />
records without consent to officials of another<br />
school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.<br />
From time to time the institution publishes communications,<br />
such as graduation and honor roll lists,<br />
that include students’ names and programs of<br />
study. A student who wishes not to be included<br />

CAMPUS SECURITY AND CRIME AWARENESS<br />
POLICIES<br />
As required by Public Law 101-542, as amended by<br />
Public Law 102-325, Title II, Crime Awareness and<br />
Campus Security Act of 1990, Section 294, Policy<br />
and Statistical Disclosures, <strong>Everest</strong> has established<br />
policies regarding campus security.<br />
<strong>Everest</strong> strives to provide its students with a secure<br />
and safe environment. Classrooms and laboratories<br />
comply with the requirements of the various federal,<br />
state and local building codes, with the Board of Health<br />
and Fire Marshal regulations. Most campuses are<br />
equipped with alarm systems to prevent unauthorized<br />
entry. Facilities are opened each morning and closed<br />
each evening by administrative personnel.<br />
<strong>Everest</strong> encourages all students to report criminal<br />
incidents or other emergencies, which occur on the<br />
campus directly to the School President, student<br />
advisor or instructor. The School President is responsible<br />
for investigating such reports and taking legal<br />
or other action deemed necessary by the situation. In<br />
extreme emergencies, the School President may immediately<br />
contact law enforcement officers or other<br />
agency personnel, such as paramedics. <strong>Everest</strong> will<br />
work with local and state law enforcement personnel<br />
if such involvement is necessary. A copy of the<br />
student's report and any resultant police report will be<br />
maintained by the school for a minimum of three years<br />
after the incident.<br />
Students are responsible for their own security and<br />
safety both on-campus and off-campus and must be<br />
considerate of the security and safety of others. The<br />
school has no responsibility or obligation for any<br />
personal belongings that are lost, stolen or damaged,
