| The Tianjin Juilliard School

Applies to: All Tianjin Juilliard faculty, staff and students including Graduate School, Pre-College, Public Education, and Continuing Education.

The Tianjin Juilliard School abides by The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, also referred to as the Buckley Amendment. This is a U.S. federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records. The rights provided by this act transfer from the parent to the student when the student reaches the age of 18 OR attends a postsecondary school — whichever comes first. Under this law, students have the following rights with regards to their educational records:

•   The right to inspect and review their education records;
•   The right to request an amendment to their education records when they believe the records are inaccurate or misleading;
•   The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in their education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent;
•   The right to file a complaint with the United States Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the School to comply with FERPA.

Wherever there is conflict between FERPA and the PRC Data Privacy Law regarding disclosure of a student’s education record without the provision of student consent, The Tianjin Juilliard School will adhere to whichever law that affords a higher standard of protection.

What is an education record?

An education record is any record that is directly related to a student and is maintained by the School or by a party acting on behalf of the School. This includes information recorded in any medium such as handwriting, computer media, video or audio tape, film, microfilm and microfiche.

What is not considered an education record?

FERPA outlines many records not considered as an education record, and therefore not afforded protection under FERPA. Some of these are outlined below.

1.   Sole possession records or private notes held by a school official that are not accessible or released to other personnel, except individuals serving as a temporary substitute for the school official;
2.   Campus security or law enforcement records that are held by a school official that are not accessible by or released to other personnel except in emergency situations;
3.   Records relating to individuals who are employed by the institution, unless the employment is contingent on their status as a student (e.g., work-study students);
4.   Records of an institution that contain information about an individual obtained only after that person is no longer a student at that institution (e.g., alumni records).

What disclosures does FERPA allow for without the provision of student consent?

FERPA outlines some exceptions for the disclosure of a student’s education record without the student's consent. Some of the exceptions that may be utilized by The Tianjin Juilliard School without student consent and/or notification are provided below.

The disclosure is to school officials who have been determined to have legitimate educational interests in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. A school official is a person employed by the school in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the school has retained as its agent to provide a service instead of using school employees/officials (such as an attorney, auditor, contractor, consultant, volunteer, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
The disclosure is to officials of another institution in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
The disclosure is to state or local educational authorities auditing or evaluating federal or state supported education programs or enforcing federal laws which relate to those programs.
The disclosure is pursuant to a lawfully issued court order or subpoena.
The disclosure is to a parent who legally declares the student as a dependent under the U.S. tax code as defined by 20 U.S.C. § 1232g. (NOTE: Regardless of the student's age, a parent seeking access to their son or daughter's educational record must present proof of their child's dependency upon each request to the Office of the Registrar by way of the most recent year's federal tax return.)
The disclosure is to parents and legal guardians of students under the age of 21, regardless of their dependency status, of information regarding a student's violation of laws or policies governing the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance.
The disclosure is made in situations deemed by the School as a health/safety emergency.
The disclosure is provided to organizations conducting studies to improve instruction, or to accrediting organizations.
The disclosure is made in connection with the receipt of financial aid (validating eligibility).
The information disclosed has been designated as directory information by the School.

What is directory information and what does the Tianjin Juilliard School define as student directory information?

At its discretion, The Tianjin Juilliard School may disclose "directory information" in accordance with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). Directory information is defined as that information which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.

Designated directory information at the Tianjin Juilliard School includes the following:

Student's name
Mailing address of record*
School email address
Number of credit hours enrolled
Major field of study
Dates of attendance
Degrees, honors, and awards received

*Disclosure is limited to colleges and universities only

Who should I contact if I have questions regarding FERPA?

Individuals having questions regarding FERPA may contact the Registrar at registrar@tianjinjuilliard.edu.cn.

Graduate Student Handbook

Read more about Graduate Student Handbook

The Tianjin Juilliard Graduate School Student Handbook ("Graduate Student Handbook") contains information on departmental, academic, personal and social development opportunities; clarifies values, standards and expectations for which the School holds all student community members accountable; and provides resources and support services for students to help establish strong foundations on which to build their professional career as an "artist as citizen." It is the expectation of The Tianjin Juilliard School that all students are responsible for reading and understanding the information within the Student Handbook, in addition to your rights and responsibilities as a Tianjin Juilliard community member.

All students will be notified of any addendum's or changes to the Graduate Student Handbook via Tianjin Juilliard e-mail.

The Tianjin Juilliard School (the “School”) strives to create a safe, comfortable, and professional environment that is conducive to the educational and personal well-being of all students. It is expected that all members of the School community, including without limitation School officials, employees, students, programs and organizations contribute to fostering such an environment. In doing so, it is important to always be aware of the rights and responsibilities held by each student.

The Tianjin Juilliard School Student Code of Conduct

The Tianjin Juilliard School Student Code of Conduct ("Code of Conduct") sets out the standards of conduct expected of its students, which supersedes all other School documents, and applies to all students enrolled at the School for their duration, without pause (including breaks and students on a leave of absence), until graduation from the School.

When students choose to accept admission to the School, they accept the rights and responsibilities of membership in the School’s academic and social community. As members of the School community, students are expected to uphold its values by maintaining a high standard of conduct.

Student misconduct is defined as any student behavior that violates rules of the School as stated in this document; contained within any School publication, or on the website; and/or is in violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations of the People’s Republic of China ("Applicable Laws").

Students who are present or accompanying others while in the act of violating the Code of Conduct may be deemed as culpable as the violators and may be subject to sanctions.

Occasionally, the rules of the School and the law will overlap, but the School does not attempt to duplicate the law or legal system. The School reserves the right to pursue matters through its student conduct system that may also be addressed in the legal system.

Serious violations or persistent minor violations of School rules, policies, or regulations may result in suspension or expulsion.

Non-residential students are expected to abide by the same standards of community behavior as residential students as outlined in the Code of Conduct.

The School reserves the right to adjudicate misconduct that occurs off campus or outside the main School Building and Residence Hall (“School premises”) if such misconduct becomes known to the School.

Academic Support and Disability Services

Academic Support and Disability Services

Tianjin Juilliard’s Office of Academic Support and Disability Services (OASDS) was established to help maximize the academic success and persistence to graduation of all students. The office provides focused services for students with disabilities as well as students typically underrepresented in higher education on the Tianjin campus.

About the Office

Services for Students with Disabilities
The Tianjin Juilliard School is committed to providing qualified students who have disabilities an opportunity to participate on an equal basis in the educational programs on the Tianjin campus. Tianjin Juilliard students should contact Tianjin Juilliard’s Office of Academic Support and Disability Services (OASDS) to request information about possible disability-related support and accommodations. OASDS looks forward to welcoming you to the Tianjin Juilliard community, learning about your circumstances, and providing assistance with your education.

A student with a qualifying disability who seeks OASDS support must start that process with the Tianjin Juilliard OASDS. For accommodations to be granted, a student has to provide any necessary information and documentation to OASDS for review and meet with a member of OASDS to complete the interactive process, which is essential for identifying accommodations that are responsive to the individual student’s needs. Once the registration, documentation, and review process is completed, OASDS will provide the student, where appropriate, with an individually determined accommodation plan. A student may not make individual accommodation arrangements with a faculty member without first utilizing the OASDS process. Please note that each semester, some adjustments to accommodations may be called for, and students will need to work with OASDS to review accommodations. A student with a disability who does not seek accommodations may inform OASDS of their situation but is not required to do so. OASDS staff members are always available to meet, answer questions or provide guidance.

Details of specific procedures and requirements are available from OASDS. Forms that need to be completed and information about your rights and responsibilities are also provided by OASDS. From time to time, Tianjin Juilliard may change or modify these policies, procedures, and forms, and you should make an effort to stay current on any changes. However, Tianjin Juilliard’s commitment to its students and to their opportunity to participate equally at Tianjin Juilliard remains constant.

To begin the process for receiving services from Tianjin Juilliard, a student will submit the completed Disability Accommodation Request Form and the Disability Authorization for Release of Information Form and meet with an OASDS representative. The student should also review the Confidentiality Policy and the Grievance Procedure to be informed of the student’s rights and responsibilities. To be considered for services, including accommodations, the student needs to submit any requested medical documentation and participate in the interactive process to determine an appropriate and reasonable accommodation, if one is necessary. Requests and documentation are to be submitted sufficiently in advance to permit an assessment and determination about accommodations for the start of a class or project in a reasonable period of time.

The student agrees that by signing and submitting the Disability Accommodation Request Form, the Disability Authorization for Release of Information Form and related materials, they are affirming that the information they have provided is complete and accurate, and that they have read and understood the information being provided by OASDS about the institutional-wide policies and procedures.

Prospective Students
Prospective students are welcome to contact the Office of Academic Support and Disability Services via email oasds@tianjinjuilliard.edu.cn at any point during their college-selection process to receive information about services provided by the office, discuss the accommodation process or to discuss documentation requirements.

Current Tianjin Juilliard Students
Tianjin Juilliard will make reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities. If you are a student with a disability, you are encouraged to register with OASDS in order to establish eligibility for disability-related accommodations. Please note that this process is confidential. If you do not have documentation or have never been diagnosed, you can still contact OASDS and discuss your situation.

Registering with OASDS

How to Register with OASDS as a Student With a Disability
If you think you might benefit from support, we encourage you to register with OASDS by following these steps:

Contact OASDS (oasds@tianjinjuilliard.edu.cn) to discuss your specific situation.
We require two forms in order to determine eligibility for registration:
- Disability Accommodation Request Form
- Release of Disability Information Form

Depending on the nature of your disability, we may require a doctor’s note or other supporting documentation. Please note that we keep your information confidential.

Once we have received all required documentation from you, we will discuss your accommodation requests. We will then engage in an interactive process with you to determine a personalized accommodation plan.

If you do not have documentation or have never been diagnosed, you can still confer with OASDS and discuss your situation.
Registration is a voluntary process and may occur at any time during the student’s course of study. However, it is recommended that requests are made with enough time to be reasonably implemented. Accommodations will be implemented after approval by OASDS and are not retroactive to the beginning of the semester.

Students who wish to document a disability may include, but are not limited to:

Students entering Tianjin Juilliard for the first time or returning after a leave of absence who have a known disability;
Students experiencing educational difficulty who are referred by a faculty member or Tianjin Juilliard official for consultation regarding the possibility of disability; and
Students whose health and/or physical abilities are altered during their educational tenure, resulting in a disability (permanent or temporary).

New Tianjin Juilliard students: We strongly encourage you to contact us before the beginning of the semester in order for your accommodations to be in place when the semester starts.

OASDS Forms and Policies

The Tianjin Juilliard School adheres to Juilliard’s policy of compliance with all federal American with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations. For more information about the Americans with Disabilities Act, please visit www.ada.gov.

Information for Faculty

OASDS strives to be a resource for all Tianjin Juilliard faculty members to help ensure an accessible, equitable learning environment for our students. If you have any questions regarding the disability certification process, how to notify students of our services, how to best provide an accommodation for a student with a disability, or how to design more accessible courses by incorporating universal design principles, you are also welcome to contact OASDS directly.

Important Items for Tianjin Juilliard Faculty to Note:

OASDS understands that not all accommodations will be applicable to all course contents. If you have specific questions about how to accommodate a student in the context of your course, please contact OASDS staff so we can work together to find the most applicable accommodation(s).
OASDS staff are not able to disclose the type of disability that the student has registered for without written permission from the student due to privacy laws. However, we can discuss the student’s accommodations and work together to help you figure out how to implement their accommodations in your classroom.
Students are required to self-identify for accommodations and must first register with OASDS in order to set up formal accommodations. Faculty are NOT required to provide any accommodations to a student until the faculty member has received a Reasonable Accommodation Plan Agreement from OASDS, which formally notifies them of the accommodations she or he is eligible for.
If a student discloses a disability to you, it is imperative that you both inform the student that she or he needs to register first with the Office of Academic Support and Disability Services to seek formal accommodations AND contact OASDS to report that you have referred a student to OASDS!
Faculty should NOT ask a student about the nature of her/his disability; rather, faculty should initiate a conversation about how to apply the accommodations stipulated in the student's Reasonable Accommodation Plan Agreement to a particular course’s content.
Faculty should NEVER ask a student about her/his disability or accommodations in front of other students. This would be a violation of privacy of a student with a disability and is not appropriate.

Campus Accessibility

The Tianjin Juilliard School strives for an environment that is accessible for all community members and visitors. For accessibility questions, requests, or general support, please contact the Office of Academic Support and Disability Services at oasds@tianjinjuilliard.edu.cn

Campus Housing: For housing-related accessibility questions and/or accommodation requests, please contact the Residence Life Manager, Chen Chen at chen.chen@tianjinjuilliard.edu.cn or OASDS, oasds@tianjinjuilliard.edu.cn
