KInDeRGARTen-12Th GRADe PARenT/GUARDIAn InFORMATIOn The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that affords parents the right to have access to their children s education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records. When a student turns 18 years old or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student. Students who are enrolled at Ohlone College are covered by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). According to this legislation, college personnel cannot release a student s records or speak with parents and/or guardians about any student s academic records without the student completing the Release of Information form. The exception to this regulation is if the student is claimed as a dependent by either parent for tax purposes. Ohlone College reserves the right to require documents verifying student s status as a dependent. Did you know??? Ohlone has the second best rate of all 21 Bay Area community colleges for students remaining consecutively enrolled for their first three terms.

Students who have lived in California for less than two years will be required to present documentation of both their physical presence in California for one year and a day prior to the first day of the term and of their intent to make California their home. explanation of Physical Presence A person capable of establishing residence in California must be physically present in California for one year and a day prior to the residence determination date to be classified as a resident student. The residence determination date is the day immediately proceeding the opening day of instruction for the semester, regardless of the first day of instruction for a specific course or program. A temporary absence for business, education, or pleasure will not result in loss of California residence, if, during the absence, the person always intended to return to California and did nothing inconsistent with the intent. Additional documentation may be requested for students absent from California for business, education, or pleasure in order to demonstrate intent. Physical presence within the state solely for educational purposes does not constitute establishing California residence regardless of the length of that presence. Non-residents of California will be required to pay the nonresident tuition fee. For more information about California residency requirements, call the Office of Admissions and Records at (510) , check the Ohlone Web site at or the Office of Admissions and Records at admissions@ohlone.edu. enrollment STePS Did you know?
