Changes of Name or Address
Students are responsible for maintaining up-to-date information: e.g., name, mailing address, phone number, or email address. Update to student information, except student name, may be completed in the portal. Name change requests must be accompanied by a copy of one of the following documents: marriage certificate, court order, social security card, or driver's license.
Student Record Retention
In addition to permanently retaining a transcript as required by section 94900(b) of the Code, the University retains all required records for a minimum of five (5) years from the end of the student’s award year on-site in order to be compliant with Federal Regulation (34 CFR §668.24) and State Regulation (5 CCR §71920). Records may then be stored on a secure off-site location and/or digitized and stored into a solutions system.
