FERPA Compliance Manual

APPENDIX I.1 --  
THE COLLEGES AND ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS WHERE EDUCATION RECORDS ARE MAINTAINED
 

The University of Arizona is a large university wherein education records are maintained both centrally and peripherally; within a university as large and diverse as The University of Arizona, no list of record keepers or education records can be complete. The University's intent in this compliance manual is to assist students in understanding the types of education records that may be maintained and their location. If students are unable to identify a particular education record or its location within the University, or if the student's College affiliation is unknown, the Office of the Registrar, telephone number (520) 621-3113 should be contacted for assistance.

The following sections of this appendix attempt to identify the types of education records and the record keepers responsible for those records by area and office. This Appendix is offered as a guideline and is not intended to be all-inclusive or complete.
