These policies outline a student\u2019s rights regarding his\/her records, where records about the student may be kept and maintained, what kinds of information are in those records, the conditions under which the student or anyone else may have access to information in those records, and what action a student can take if it is believed that the information in his\/her record is inaccurate or that the student\u2019s rights have been compromised.&nbsp;The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/registrar\/student-rights\/\">Student Rights policy<\/a> are available.
