If, after thorough review, MCC denies the request to amend the record, the College notifies students of the decision and advises students of their rights to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. MCC provides students with additional information regarding the hearing when MCC sends out the hearing notification.
One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests in the record. A school official is: a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities. Upon request, MCC may also disclose education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
