Access to the web for faculty system is granted through the Registrar's Office at the request of each faculty member. Precautions are taken to insure user security when the account is enabled. The security of the account from that time forward is the responsibility of the user office and not of the Registrar's Office.

According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (The Buckley Amendment), electronic access to student educational records classifies you as a custodian of student education records. The release of student information is controlled by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

The Buckley Amendment is "A FEDERAL LAW DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF EDUCATION RECORDS, TO ESTABLISH THE RIGHT OF STUDENTS TO INSPECT AND REVIEW THEIR EDUCATION RECORDS, AND TO PROVIDE GUIDELINES FOR THE CORRECTION OF INACCURATE AND MISLEADING DATA THROUGH INFORMAL AND FORMAL HEARINGS."

Custodians of student educational data are required to take reasonable precautions to prevent the misuse of data and to ensure confidentiality. Custodians must not disclose information about students nor permit inspection of their records without the students' permission.

I have read and understand my role as a custodian of student education data through the activation of my web for faculty account at SUNY Oswego.
