Parents or eligible students have the right to request that AHSI correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. Except in certain specific circumstances, organizations subject to FERPA regulations must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record. However, except as otherwise provided herein, or unless a parent or eligible student requests otherwise, AHSI may disclose (including without limitation upon the Site), without consent, “directory” information such as a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance.
