Evidence of Compliance: 

Student academic records in the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies are maintained in full compliance with accepted confidentiality practices, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

All student records are securely housed within the Common Management System (CMS) and accessed through MyCSULB, CSULB’s official student portal. Students can log into this secure system to view up-to-date academic progress reports, enrollment information, and unofficial transcripts.

Faculty and department advisors are granted limited, need-based access to student records through MyCSULB, enabling them to provide appropriate academic advising while maintaining confidentiality protections. Access is restricted by role and function, and all advising interactions are conducted in accordance with university and federal privacy regulations.

CSULB provides an overview of the MyCSULB portal and student rights under FERPA at the following site:

These policies ensure that student records are handled securely, ethically, and in full compliance.
