Confidentiality & Student Records Policy

In compliance with The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 and Accreditation Standards for Physician Assistant Education, student materials, grades, records and files are considered privileged and confidential. All student records are stored in locked files when not in use. Faculty and clerical staff are the only individuals who have access to these files. No information contained within a student record will be given, either verbally or in writing, without the written consent of the student. Written consent for release of records will be kept in the student file. Written clearance is also necessary for the release of any medical information as discussed in the health clearance section of the Handbook. The CUNY

Medicine PA Program follows the student rights and records policies of CUNY Medicine, which can be found here: https://medicine.cuny.edu/student-rights/.
