Confidentiality

FNU seeks to maintain the confidentiality of all requests for accommodations but reserves the right to consult FNU officials regarding the appropriateness of accommodations and how best to implement specific accommodations. Consulted officials may include a programmatic supervisor who can advise on how best to manage an accommodation within a specific course or program of study. At no time will faculty be provided medical information regarding the student. Faculty may not share medical or accommodation information with others, including fellow faculty members. In all consultations, the student’s rights to privacy under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and other applicable laws and regulations will be maintained.

The Accessibility Coordinators will be tasked with maintaining all the files regarding requests for accommodations. As these files will contain confidential medical information, the files will be stored in a secured location, that is not accessible by others.
