FERPA and Confidentiality

Body

The University of Vermont regulates access to and release of a student's records in accordance with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Individual student records are confidential, and are only shared with the appropriate parties needed to ensure the safety of the individual and the campus community. All campus entities will follow FERPA regulations when handling information submitted through a Bias Incident Report.

Medical Amnesty Program (MAP)

Body

In cases of extreme intoxication or incapacitation due to alcohol and/or other drugs, it is imperative that someone calls for emergency assistance. As we prioritize student safety, the Medical Amnesty Program (MAP) removes or reduces consequences students may face in violation of UVM's Code of Student Conduct.
