CCC uses data protection policies to prevent sensitive student information from being emailed to external institutions. These safeguards keep CCC compliant with FERPA and help ensure private information isn't accidentally shared with unintended recipients.
When there's a legitimate need to share FERPA-protected information with a partner institution or organization, CCC employees can request that the partner's domain be approved to receive it under our existing data protection policies. All requests require appropriate approval before a domain is added.
Before submitting your request, please have the following ready:
- Name of the external partner or organization
- Domain(s) to be added (e.g., partner.edu)
- Business justification for sharing FERPA-protected information
- Primary contact at the external organization
All requests to the FERPA Compliance Officer for approval, then to the Systems team for review and implementation.
