Allopathic Medicine Student Handbook

Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2024–2025 47 appropriate records will be amended. If not, the student will be notified within a reasonable period that the records will not be amended and will be informed by the ADASA or the Office of the University Registrar of the student’s right to a formal hearing. All requests for formal hearings associated with challenging the content of a student’s educational records based on the information contained in the educational records that is thought to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student’s privacy rights will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of FERPA. The student will be notified of the institution’s decision in writing within a reasonable period after the hearing. If, after a formal hearing, the institution decides that the information in the education record is not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the privacy rights of the student, it will inform the student of the student’s right to place a statement in the record commenting on the contested information in the record or stating why the student disagrees with the decision of the agency or institution, or both. If the institution places such a statement in the student’s educational records, the institution will maintain the statement with the contested part of the record for as long as the record is maintained and disclose the statement whenever it discloses the portion of the record to which the statement relates.
