Services for Students
with Disabilities
The College provides support services to
maximize independence and encourage
the integration of students with disabilities
into all areas of college life. The particular
needs of each student are considered on an
individual basis. Students with disabilities

Students with Disabilities Office as early
as possible after applying for admission.
Reasonable accommodations, based on

Family Educational
Rights & Privacy Act of
1974 (FERPA)
FERPA, commonly known as the Buckley
Amendment, was issued by the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare in the
1976 Federal Register. The regulations were
transferred to the Department of Education
when it was established and codified in Part 99
of Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The purpose of FERPA is to afford certain rights
to students concerning their educational
records. FERPA applies to all schools that
receive funding under most programs
administered by the Secretary of Education.
Most postsecondary institutions, both public
and private, generally receive such funding
and must, therefore, comply with FERPA.
FERPA applies to all education records
maintained by a postsecondary institution, or
by any party acting for the institution, which are
directly related to the student. These include,
but are not limited to, assessment test scores,
academic standing, rosters, class schedule, or
any information that would make the student’s
identification easily traceable. FCC may release
directory information, which includes student’s
name, dates of attendance, and enrollment
status–see the FCC catalog for a complete list.
Students wishing to restrict directory
information or grant additional access must
come to the Welcome Center with a photo
ID to fill out the required form. This form
will remain in effect until a new form is filed
rescinding the previous non-disclosure or
disclosure. Please contact the Welcome Center
for additional information.
