This page is not a comprehensive list. All of the policies below, in addition to others, are outlined in our catalog.

FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records. (An “eligible student” under FERPA is a student who is 18 years or older or who attends a postsecondary institution.)

These rights include:

1. The right to inspect and review the student’s educational records within 45 days after the day Atlas School receives a request for access. A student should submit to the Director of Education a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The Director of Education will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the school to amend a record should write to the school official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed and specify why it should be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested, the school will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent before the school discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the student’s records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. The school discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is employed by the School in an administrative, supervisory, academic, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel, regulatory entities, officials designated by the Department of Education and health staff); or serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee. A school official also may include an outside contractor who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent. A school official has legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill their professional responsibilities for the School. Upon request, the school also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which the student seeks or intends to enroll. Atlas will make reasonable attempts to notify each student of these disclosures.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U. S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Atlas School to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:
   Family Policy Compliance Office U. S. Department of Education
   400 Maryland Avenue, SW
   Washington, DC 20202

Atlas School is legally permitted to disclose directory information without the student’s prior written consent. The School designates the following items as directory information: student’s name; dates of attendance; location of attendance; email address; website address; program of study; participation in officially recognized activities; degree, diplomas and certificates awarded; enrollment status (i.e., enrolled, active, future enrolled student, reentry, on leave of absence, withdrawn, etc.).

Students may request that Atlas School not disclose any or all their directory information. Requests for non-disclosure must be in writing with the Director of Education. You can find our privacy policy here.

Services for Students with Disabilities

Disabled Applicants and Students

The school is committed to compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and its regulations. The school does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. Atlas School has an Executive Director on each campus who ensures Section 504 compliance.

Grievances or complaints concerning Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) matters should be directed to the Executive Director via email or by mail at 15 N Cheyenne Ave., Tulsa, OK 74103.

Students Seeking Reasonable Accommodations

In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended, the School abides by the regulation that “no otherwise handicapped individual” shall be excluded from participation in the programs and services offered by the School “solely by reason of the handicap.” A student is eligible for consideration for accommodations and/or auxiliary aids and services if the student has a disability and the Director of Education has met with the student, consulted with the school’s Executive Director, and determined that the functional limitations of the disability require such accommodation, auxiliary aids and/or services.

Student Grievance Policy

If a grievance is not resolved by the Director of Education to the student’s satisfaction, the student may contact the Executive Director at Atlas School, 15 N Cheyenne Ave., Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103. You may also email your complaint to our legal team.‍

Complaints filed with the Oklahoma Board of Private Vocational Schools must be in writing and shall be in accordance with OAC 565:1-3-2. A copy of these requirements will be provided upon request to the Executive Director. Complaints will be subject to the statute of limitations as allowed in the Oklahoma Statutes.
