Welcome to the fall term!
Our wonderful auditor, Dolores Pasto-Ziobro, has gently reminded me that I should be reminding the college community each year of the general rules related to the confidentiality of student records. Some of this information will seem obvious to you, but a quick and painless reminder can't hurt.
· System access requirements for employees to perform assigned job responsibilities are determined and approved by the Director of Registration & Records.
· Employees are prohibited from accessing information or data that is not relevant and necessary to perform job-related duties.
· Posting transactions in Banner to related party accounts (their account and the accounts of family and friends) is prohibited. This includes grading, withdrawing, adding courses, overriding holds, issuing or reviewing transcripts or entering comment data. Employees must direct all related party transactions to another member of the staff for posting.
· During the course of normal operations, staff is likely to come across information associated with friends, neighbors and acquaintances (i.e., former schoolmates, friends of their children, etc.). This information cannot be used for any purpose other than official college business. Staff must use extreme caution with this information so as not to disclose it unintentionally.
· Monroe Community College complies with FERPA and other regulatory pronouncements.
· Questions regarding access and release of student account information should be directed to the Director, Associate or Assistant Director of Registration & Records.
Have a wonderful semester. Please feel free to contact me or any of the Registration & Records staff if you have questions or need assistance this semester.
