DeVry respects the rights and privacy of its students and acknowledges the responsibility to maintain confidentiality of personally identifiable information. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (the "ACT"), is a federal law, which allows students to review certain educational records maintained by DeVry. This law also provides that the institution will maintain the confidentiality of the student's educational records. DeVry, Inc. reserves the right to revise this policy, in accordance with the ACT, at any time.

The Dean of Students at DeVry has been designated to coordinate the inspection and review procedures for student educational records. Students wishing to review their educational records that are covered by the ACT must make a written request to the Dean of Students Office listing the item or items of interest. The request will then be forwarded to the custodian of student educational records in the appropriate office, who shall notify the student of the time and place at which the record may be viewed, but no later than 45 days after receipt of the request.

In the event a student challenges the content of his/her education record on the basis that an item is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate, the custodian of the educational record shall discuss the challenge with the student in an attempt to resolve the challenge within the framework of maintaining the integrity, accuracy, and usefulness of the record. If the student wishes to insert a written explanation regarding the content of the record, such written explanation is to be accepted and included in the record.

If the custodian of the educational record and the student are unable to resolve the challenge, the student may initiate a grievance by filing charges with the Dean of Students.

The educational records of a student maintained by DeVry that are subject to inspection and review by a student include the following:

	Educational records of the student maintained by the Registrar.
	Financial records of the student maintained by the Student Finance Office and Housing Office.
	Personal records of the student maintained by the Student Services Office.
	Placement records of the student maintained by the DeVry Career Services Office.

	All confidential letters and recommendations placed in a record prior to January 1, 1975.
