Records

All medical records and disability reports are to be kept in a secure location on campus separate from the student’s academic record.

Directory information may be released to the news media and other persons upon request. Such information includes the following:

  • Student’s name
  • Year in school (freshman, etc.)
  • Major field of study
  • Dates of attendance
  • Degrees and awards received
  • Institutions previously attended
  • Photograph
  • E-mail address

Students have the right to submit a request in writing to the Registrar’s Office to block the release of all or part of their directory information.* To ensure confidentiality, this request must be completed and turned in by the end of the drop/add period of each semester.

Students who choose to have their records released to a third party, such as a parent, must fill out a Records Release Form with the Registrar’s Office.

* Information may be disclosed to the student’s parent, if the student is a dependent of the parent, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code of 1954, Section 152. If the student receives more than half of his or her support from the parent, under the IRS definition, the student is a dependent of the parent. “Parent” is defined as a natural parent, guardian, or an individual acting as a parent in the absence of a parent or guardian. The student should discuss this action with the Registrar in order to make an informed decision.

Federal Drug-Free Workplace

It is the policy of Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences to maintain a safe and healthful environment for its students. A tobacco/alcohol/drug-free lifestyle for students is the goal of this policy. Therefore, it is the College’s policy that the manufacture, distribution, and possession of illicit drugs are strictly prohibited. The use of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs on the College campus, or during any school-sponsored activity or event, is also strictly prohibited.

All students and College employees are provided annually with a copy of the FHCHS Drug Policy in which both College and legal sanctions for inappropriate drug use are detailed and the known health risks associated with inappropriate drug use are described. For the complete FHCHS Alcohol/Tobacco/Drug Policy, see the Student Handbook.
