Consumer Information

Student Right To Know
The Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), requires institutions to disclose certain information to prospective and current students, and employees. The purpose of this webpage is to provide the information required to be disclosed by the HEA in an easy to find location. These federal regulations require that colleges that receive Title IV federal funding provide specific consumer information about the college. Listed below is the information WVNCC is required to disclose and the web links, or catalogs/handbooks where the information can be found.

Health & Safety Exemption Requirement - WV Northern adheres to all requirements pertaining to the protection of student information.  Information about student records and confidentiality can be found in the college catalog.  However, in some situations, the College may determine that it is necessary to disclose personally identifiable information (PII) from a student’s education records to appropriate parties in order to address a health or safety emergency.  FERPA’s health or safety emergency provision permits such disclosures when the disclosure is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals.  This exception to FERPA’s general consent requirement is limited to the period of the emergency and generally does not allow for a blanket release of PII from a student’s education records.  Rather, these disclosures must be related to an actual, impending, or imminent emergency, such as a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, a campus shooting, or the outbreak of an epidemic disease.
