You have certain rights to privacy about the information that we maintain about you. For more information, including a full text of the regulations regarding your records and your right to privacy, please inquire at the Registrar’s Office. GCC’s directory information consists of the following:

• Student’s Name
• Student’s Major
• Dates of Attendance
• Graduation Date(s)
• Honors Conferred
• State/Town

Under FERPA law, GCC students have the right to be notified annually by the College of what the College designates as "directory information" and the right to request that their information not be designated as directory information. The Solomon Amendment is a federal law that provides an exception to FERPA. Information can be found at gcc.mass.edu/registrar.

A student must notify the Registrar's Office, in writing, if they do not wish to have their student information designated as directory information by completing the appropriate Non-Disclosure form with the Registrar's Office.

Note that the FERPA waiver available through Student Financial Services does not provide access to a student's academic information. A separate release form, Student Academic Information Release Authorization, is available through the Office of the Registrar. With this form a student may grant access to academic records to specified individuals.
