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.
