The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) was implemented in 1974 as a federal law to protect the privacy of student education records. FERPA also gives students the right to review their education records, seek to amend inaccurate information in their records, and provide consent for the disclosure of their records. This law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
According to FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), NOBTS & Leavell College ensures proper processing of students’ personally identifiable information (PII). No individual without legitimate official educational or legal interests may access a student’s PII without prior written consent from the student. In regard to his or her personally identifiable information, the student retains the following rights:
Students wishing to request that specific third-parties have access to their account information may complete the appropriate selection in their student portal. This serves as a waiver of the student’s rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) for the specified third-parties.

Select the “Student Forms” tab above to find a list of different forms to request items or transactions from the Registrar’s Office. These include transcript requests, enrollment verifications, requests to withdraw, requests to change your degree, and more!
You must complete a request for transcript evaluation form through your student portal for each transcript that you need evaluated. You will only be charged one transcript evaluation fee. In order to evaluate transcripts, these transcripts must be official transcripts and received directly by our institution.
