Collin County Community College District (CCCCD) uses an online student records system administered by the Admissions and Records Office. The software used is the Systems and Computer Technology Corporation PLUS Student Information System. Hard copies of student records are stored at the Records Management Center. Security of hard copy and online records is maintained in compliance with the Texas State Library Retention Schedule guideline. Access to all records is in accordance with the Family Education Rights to Privacy Act of 1974 (the Buckley Amendment) and Texas House Bill 1922.

Students may inspect and review their education records upon submitting a written request to the Registrar (References 1, 2). CCCCD will disclose information from a student’s education records only with prior written consent of the student, except with regard to the law that provides for disclosure without consent.

Disciplinary records are maintained in the office of the Dean of Students. Information in these records is disclosed to officials at other schools without prior written consent from the student only if there is a risk to others or for legitimate educational interest. Confidentiality of the records is maintained in accordance with the Family Educational Rights to Privacy Act of 1974 (the Buckley Amendment).

Students may access their own records, such as course schedules for each semester, unofficial transcripts, and semester grades. This access is protected with a Personal Identification Number (PIN) system. Students have the ability to change this PIN to protect access to their records.

CCCCD faculty enter final grades for each semester on the Faculty and Advisor Self-Service System. Grades are entered on the Online Access to Student Information System (OASIS) pages. Access to OASIS is protected with a username and Personal Identification Number (PIN) system. Usernames are the faculty identification number, and PINs are assigned to faculty at the beginning of the semester. Faculty are encouraged to change this PIN each semester to protect access to the grading pages on OASIS.
