Thank you for your letter regarding Mr*** ***, which I received Thursday, March 13, I regret that he feels that UW-Fox Valley has not been helpful in resolving his complaint
If l were permitted to share the details of his case with you, I believe you would agree
that he has been treated fairly and in accordance with University policyHowever, UW-Fox Valley and
UW Colleges are prohibited by the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) from releasing any student specific information without written authorization from the student.
FERPA protects the student and affords the student substantial control over disclosure of informationBefore we could release any information, Mr.*** would have to submit a written FERPA
release request indicating what information could be shared and with whom
Although I cannot discuss Mr*** specific situation, in general UW-Fox Valley follows very specific UW Colleges policies governing enrollment and financial aidOur policies are intended
to keep us in compliance with federal law and Department o f Education rules regarding the proper disbursement of federal financial aid All of our policies arc public and I will be happy to
share them with you if you want to delve further into this matter
While I cannot give details about Mr*** case, I can say that as a matter of general practice, students are informed before the start of classes about enrollment requirements and are sent
multiple email notices regarding financial aid eligibility, enrollment deadlines and related mattersUW-Fox Valley and UW Colleges make every effort to help students comply with the
rules and have a successful college experience
