Students do have the right to inspect their education records. The process to do so is:
• Submit a written request for the inspection of identified records to the NWTC Registrar’ s Office.
• The Registrar will contact you with a day, time and place for the inspection.
• The notification and inspection shall occur within 45 days from the receipt of the written request for inspection on records.
After inspection, the student has the right to request the amendment of student education records that the student feels are inaccurate or misleading. They should write the Registrar, clearly identifying the part( s) of the record that they want changed, and specify why they feel the record( s) is inaccurate or misleading.
If Northeast Wisconsin Technical College decides not to amend the record as requested, the College will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.

Directory Information However, anyone can request what is termed“ directory information”. Each institution defines what they consider to be directory and non-directory information. The student also has the right to withhold any directory information that they wish from any third party by filling out a Privacy Request Form. Please consider carefully the consequences of any decision made to withhold directory information, as any future requests for such information from non-institutional persons or organizations such as prospective colleges and employers will be refused. NWTC will honor an individual’ s request to withhold directory information until removed by the person, but cannot assume responsibility to contact a student for subsequent permission to release information.
