Bay Mills Community College adheres to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of a student’s educational records. Our FERPA Policy can be found here.

There are limited exceptions to FERPA regulations under which BMCC is permitted to disclose education records or personally identifiable, non-directory information from education records in connection with a health or safety emergency without student consent.

The situation must present imminent danger to a student, other students, or members of the school community to qualify as an exception. This action is not taken lightly and only under circumstances that present imminent danger.
