Student Rights

  • Students in good academic standing have access to all instructional facilities and services, including classes, laboratories, library, tutoring, advising, etc.
  • Students have the right to inquire about, and to propose, improvements in policies, regulations and procedures affecting the welfare of students through student surveys, MyECPI, campus clubs and organizations, and University offices.
  • The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 provides safeguards regarding the confidentiality of, and access to, student records, and this Act will be adhered to by the University. See the heading Family Education and Privacy Act (FERPA) for more detailed information.
  • Students may appeal results of tests, examinations, or other grades by the end of the add/drop period of the subsequent term.
  • ECPI decisions affecting a student may be appealed by requesting a review board hearing.
  • Students may record class lectures only with the approval of the faculty member assigned to the course. Students agree that recordings are made strictly for academic (course-related) purposes and are for personal use only.  Recordings are not to be distributed. Students do not have permission to retain recordings beyond the end of the term unless they have obtained written permission.
