"Serving
as a distribution point for statistical
information concerning Texas A&M
University-Kingsville and Texas A&M
University-System Center-San Antonio."
I understand that information concerning any individual
student is to be held in the strictest confidence and I assure that procedures are in
place for monitoring and protecting confidentiality of student information.
I understand that any unauthorized
disclosure of confidential student information is illegal as provided
in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
FERPA and in the implementing federal regulations found in 34 CFR
Part 99.
FERPA is specifically incorporated into the Texas Open Records Act
as an exception to records which are subject to disclosures to the
public (Art. 6252-17a,Sec. 14(e) Vernon's Code Ann.).
In addition, I understand that any data sets or output reports I, or my representative,
may generate with individual student data are confidential. I will not disclose to any
unauthorized person any data sets or reports which I am given or devise. I understand that
I am responsible for any computer transactions performed as a result of access authorized
by use of password(s).
I also understand that failure to observe these restrictions constitutes a "Breach
of Computer Security" as defined in the Texas Penal Code, Chapter 33 sec. 33.02, B,
and that such an offense constitutes a Class A misdemeanor.
