Privacy Statement
According to Federal Law all colleges are required to provide you with a
statement on the Family Rights and Privacy Act. This act protects your rights to keep your
personal information confidential. WCCC requires that the written permission be obtained
from you before we release your educational records to specific parties. If you desire to
have your educational records accessed by a third party, please complete the enclosed release
of information form. Our intent is to protect the privacy of students with regard to access
of records and release of such records, and to provide the opportunity to challenge such
records should they be inaccurate, misleading or inappropriate. Copies of the specific WCCC
policy can be found in the catalog, student handbook and from the Student Services Office.
WCCC does release directory information upon request of outside parties. Directory information
includes name, address, field of study, honors, telephone number, academic credentials earned
(including dates), and dates of attendance. If you would like to keep your directory information
private please contact Student Services for the appropriate form.
Current Federal Law requires that all colleges release information to military recruiters upon
their request. WCCC fully complies with this law, any questions about its validity and purpose
should be directed to your local congressional representatives.
Under the Student Right to Know Law, colleges are required to provide students with a current
Rate of Graduation. WCCC has calculated this rate to be 60%. Thus 60% of students who entered
in the fall of 2002 went on to complete their selected credentials. WCCC does not currently
calculate a transfer out rate (those students who leave to enter another college) due to our
lack of verifiable attendance. If you have any further questions concerning this rate please
contact Student Services.
