Education records. . .

Education records are all the records maintained by WMU about individual students, with the following exceptions:

• Sole possession records or private individual notes created by a faculty or staff member which are accessible only to the individual who created them.
• Law enforcement or campus security records created and maintained solely for law enforcement purposes.
• Employment records
• Medical and counseling records used solely for the treatment of the individual.
• Records which contain only information relating to a person after that person is no longer a student at WMU. (For example, records of alumni accomplishments or honors.)
