Student Data Protection: New Rules for Colleges and Closures
This new act requires higher education institutions to create student record management plans, especially when closing down. This ensures students maintain access to their documents, such as transcripts and financial aid records, and facilitates communication after the institution ceases operations. The law aims to protect students from losing important information and from being charged unreasonable fees for accessing their own data.
Key points
Colleges must have student record management plans to maintain accreditation.
If a college closes, students will get free access to their records for one year.
Colleges cannot withhold records due to financial holds.
Record management plans will cover transcripts, billing, and financial aid records.
