Policies
Confidentiality of Student Records
Information submitted by students in support of financial aid applications is held in confidential files within the
Financial Aid Office.
Under the provision of the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, students have a right to review
the information in their financial aid files. Parental information submitted on the FAFSA will not be shared with the student
if requested by the parents in writing.
The right of inspection is available to students who are or have been in attendance at the School of Law. In accordance
with the privacy act, parents and spouses cannot have access to student files unless permitted in writing by the student.
Information collected is not made available to others unless its transfer is appropriate to the purpose for which it was
collected, i.e., aiding the student.
Students who wish to have access to their files should submit a request in writing to the director of admissions and
financial aid. A convenient time will be arranged for review.

Students with Disabilities
Federal law requires universities to provide reasonable accommodation(s) to students with documented disabilities that
may substantially impair or limit their ability to achieve their maximum academic potential. USD’s Disability Services is
responsible for securing and maintaining this documentation as it relates to the disability claims of each student who chooses
to identify himself/herself.
Each request and/or recommendation for an accommodation is examined on a case-by-case basis by USD’s Office of
Disability Services, Serra Hall 300, at (619) 260-4674, and implemented after meeting with the student and assessing his/her
needs.
