Student Records
Student Records maintains and processes academic records for Lane. This includes but is not limited to online applications for admission, transfer institution transcripts, course substitution forms, grade change forms, student identification documentation, evaluations, registration graduation records, and degree/certificate applications.
Except for the Lane transcript record and current registration, most of this material is archived digitally for all Lane students. Lane transcripts are available on ExpressLane for current students. Most records will be kept indefinitely. If you are a former student and do not know your identification number, you may order your transcripts through the National Student Clearinghouse at www.studentclearinghouse.org
Release of Records - In accord with federal law (the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act or FERPA, Public Law 93-380), students may see and review all official records, files, and data pertaining to themselves with these exceptions: confidential financial information reported by the parent/guardian unless the parent/guardian has explicitly granted permission for the student's review; and medical, psychiatric, or similar records used for treatment purposes. Access to a student's own records will be provided as early as possible, but no longer than 45 days from the time of the student's official request.
A student may challenge the content of a record that they consider inaccurate, misleading or in violation of the student's privacy or other rights. If such a challenge is not resolved with the custodian of the records, the student has the right to an appeal. Further information is available in the Enrollment Services/Student Records Office.
Release of Records/Student Information - Per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), the college has identified directory information that can be released without the student's written permission. The following information is considered directory information and may be released without written permission from a student:
- Student name(s)
- Degree program and major/program of study
- Participation in official activities/sports
- Weight/height of athletic team members
- Dates of attendance (not daily)
- Degrees and awards received
- Most recent previous school attended and photograph
- Enrollment status (half-time/full-time only)
- Date of graduation
If you do not want this directory information released, you must access the student information release links within ExpressLane. Completing this process will place a confidential block indicator on your records at Lane.
If you would like some individuals to access limited information such as your account information, you may also use the Student Information Release process within ExpressLane to provide Lane with a password that you can share with others. Individuals with these passwords must offer these when contacting Enrollment Services and the password must match exactly what you have provided. We cannot assist individuals without this password or without having the exact amount owed given.
Information necessary to determine student eligibility for athletic participation and for financial aid granted by state or federal agencies that provide a student's tuition will be released for those purposes only. This may include term schedules, grades, credit hours of enrollment, and past academic records. A written request from the aid-granting agency is required.
