WNC CelebratingYearsEmbracing the Past & Looking Ahead2011 brings a significantbirthday to Western NevadaCollege - the Big 4-0.With it comes the chance to embrace the past and look forward.

Instead, spacewas rented for classes in communitiesas far and wide as Reno, Carson City,Hawthorne, Yerington, Fallon, InclineVillage and Zephyr Cove.There were 705 students that firstsemester, but the numbers quicklygrew to 2,106 in 1972. The BristleconeBuilding opened on the new CarsonCity campus in 1974.Over the years, university transfercourses have become as important ascareer preparation programs. However, the first graduating class in 1972showed the focus on careers. Of 30graduates, 16 earned nursing degreesand 14 studied business technology orradiologic technology.Today close to 6,000 students attend each semester, and Western offersa bachelor’s degree in constructionmanagement and more than 40 academic degrees and certificates.OTHER MILESTONES1976 - Western is split, with the north campus in Reno becoming Truckee Meadows Community College.1981 - The Fallon campus opens with Sage Hall.1987 - Local builders and manufacturers donate time and materials to construct a center for machinetool technology instruction.1988 - The Pinon Hall classroom building opens at the Fallon campus.1991 - Aspen Building opens at the Carson City campus, bringing science and art laboratories, andfacilities for counseling and admissions.1992 - Stillwater Hall (now Virgil Getto Hall) opens at the Fallon campus with science and art labs,student services areas, library and media services.

Privacy NoticePrivacy Notice & Request for Confidential Status of Directory InformationIn accordance with institutional policy and theU.S. Family Education Rights and Privacy Actof 1974, Western Nevada College vigorouslyprotects the privacy of student educationalrecords. The institution does not release therecords of individual students, such as gradesand class schedules, without prior writtenconsent of the student. WNC does not releaseinformation to parents of students regardlessof dependence status without prior writtenconsent of the student. A student is defined asan individual who has applied to WNC andwho is or has been in attendance at WNC.The Family Educational Rights and PrivacyAct (FERPA) affords students certain rightswith respect to their education records. Theserights include:(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days ofthe day the institution receives a request foraccess.A student should submit to the registrar,dean, head of the academic department, orother appropriate official, a written requestthat identifies the record(s) the student wishesto inspect. The institution official will makearrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the recordsmay be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the institution official to whom therequest was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whomthe request should be addressed.(2) The right to request the amendment of thestudent’s education records that the studentbelieves to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacyrights under FERPA.A student who wishes to ask the institution to amend a record should write the institution official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the studentwants changed and specify why it shouldbe changed. If the institution decides not toamend the record as requested, the institution will notify the student in writing of thedecision and of the student’s right to a hearingregarding the request for amendment. Addi-tional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student whennotified of the right to a hearing.(3) The right to provide written consentbefore the institution discloses personallyidentifiable information from the student'seducation records, except to the extent thatFERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.The institution discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosureto school officials with legitimate educationalinterests. A school official is a person employed by the institution in an administrative,supervisory, academic or research, or supportstaff position (including law enforcement unitpersonnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the institution has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead ofusing institutional employees or officials (suchas an attorney, auditor or collection agent); aperson serving on the Board of Regents; or astudent serving on an official committee, suchas a disciplinary or grievance committee, orassisting another school official in performinghis or her tasks.A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review aneducation record in order to fulfill his or herprofessional responsibilities for the institution.Upon request, the institution also discloses education records without consent toofficials of another school in which a studentseeks or intends to enroll.As permitted under federal law, an exception to the above practice is the releaseof “directory” information considered to bepublic in nature and not generally deemed tobe an invasion of privacy. The Nevada Systemof Higher Education has designated the following information as directory information:student name, address, telephone number,e-mail address, degrees, honors and awardsreceived, major field of study, college, dates ofattendance, date of graduation, undergraduate or graduate status, most recent educational agency or institution attended, enrollmentstatus (full-time or part-time), participationin officially recognized activities and sports,and weight and height of members of athleticteams. WNC has further designated photographs from college sanctioned events as directory information.Students have the right to refuse to letWNC and NSHE designate this informationas directory information and have until theend of the first six weeks of the fall or springsemester to submit a request for non-disclosure of the above items. A request for nondisclosure submitted at one NSHE institutionwill apply to all NSHE institutions.(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S.Department of Education concerning allegedfailures by the institution to comply with therequirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPAis: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S.Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202-5901It is important to consider carefully thepotential consequences of restricting the release of directory information. If a studentrestricts release for non-commercial educational purposes, the institution will be unableto place the student’s name in publicationssuch as honors and graduation programs, toconfirm graduation and dates of attendanceto potential employers; or to verify enrollmentwith organizations such as insurance companies without the express written authorizationof the student.If, after due consideration, you wish torestrict the release of directory information,complete this form and submit it to Admissions and Records. This directive will applypermanently to your record unless you chooseto reverse it by submitting a written authorization.Do not disclose my information for commercial purposes.Do not disclose my information for non-commercial, educational purposes.Do not disclose my information for both commercial & non-commercial purposes.Printed NameStudent IDDateSignatureThe authorization can be mailed, faxed or delivered in person to Admissions & Records.4
