What is FERPA?

FERPA (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) is a federal law pertaining to the release of and access to student educational records. FERPA protects students’ rights regarding the privacy and accuracy of education records.

FERPA applies to all schools that receive funds under applicable programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Institutions are responsible for ensuring that all of its school officials comply with FERPA. Failure to comply could ultimately lead to a withholding of funds administered by the Secretary of Education.

What are a Student’s Rights Under FERPA?

• The right to inspect and review their education records.
• The right to seek to amend education records that are believed to be inaccurate of misleading.
• The right to demand that personally identifiable information be disclosed only with student consent, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
• The right to file a complaint against the institution.

Parent Rights Relating to Student Educational Records

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act or FERPA (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) provides certain rights for parents regarding their children’s education records. FERPA gives these rights to custodial and noncustodial parents alike, unless there is a court order, legally binding document, or State law that specifically provides to the contrary. When a student reaches 18 years of age or attends an institution of postsecondary education at any age, he or she becomes an “eligible student,” and all rights under FERPA transfer from the parent to the student.

Troubleshooting Tips from Honorlock

• Student Toolbar: During assessments, exam takers have quick access to mid-exam tools via the student toolbar located at the bottom of the testing window.
• Access Codes: When the Honorlock integration is working properly, students will not be prompted to enter an access code to start the quiz. If you see a prompt to enter an access code in Canvas, something on your computer is interfering with Honorlock (Are you using the Chrome browser? Have you installed the Honorlock extension? Are you using an approved device? *no smartphones or tablets*) and you should start a live chat with Honorlock support for troubleshooting assistance.
• Minimum System Requirements: Students must be using a recent version of Google Chrome and a supported operating system to use Honorlock. You can run a system check from Honorlock’s support page to ensure that your device and browser meet minimum system requirements.
• Test Taker – Quick Fixes
• Getting Support
  • LIVE CHAT (available 24/7/365): honorlock.com/support/ or click the chat bubble while you have Honorlock open in your Canvas course. Test takers can use this feature to get immediate support while taking an exam.

The ACT or  Accuplacer test is not required for an admission. However,  if a student plans to take an English or Math class a qualifying score from one or the other is required for placement.  Dually enrolled students are not permitted to take co-requisite courses in English and/or Math.

An 18 or higher on the English portion of the ACT is required for enrollment in English 101.

Students planning to take a math course with an ACT mathematics score of 18 or higher are exempted from the Accuplacer placement test. Placement of these students will be evaluated using the following criteria:

•  Math 100 (Intermediate College Algebra) requires an ACT math sub-score 18-21
•  Math 110 (Finite Mathematics) or Math 112 (Pre-calculus with Algebra) requires an ACT math sub-score of at least 22
• Math 113 (Pre-calculus with Trig) requires an ACT math sub-score 23-24
• Math 125 Calculus I is requires an ACT math sub-score 25 or higher

*A qualifying ACT score is required to place into MTH 113 and MTH 125.  Students may not place into these classes by taking the Accuplacer.

Students should schedule an appointment for ACCUPLACER Inventory to guarantee a seat for a specific date and time.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT for ACCUPLACER Inventory on the Dothan Campus.

All dual enrollment classes adhere to the Wallace Community College semester calendar, regardless of location. The Academic Calendar can be found here. Wallace Community College follows a schedule of three terms: fall, spring, and summer semesters.

Dual Enrollment students must follow the academic calendars of both their high school and WCC. For example, if your high school is closed due to a holiday or inclement weather but WCC is open, you are required to attend your college class and complete assignments as assigned. If WCC is closed but your high school is open, then you must attend your high school. It is the students’ responsibility to be familiar with the academic calendars of both their high school and WCC.

On September 13, 2018, the Alabama State Board of Education amended the Alabama Administrative Code, Rule No. 290-3-1-.02, pertaining to secondary course credit awarded for post-secondary coursework through dual enrollment. The revised rule now includes the following language:  “Semester credit hours at the post-secondary level courses specifically named as a requirement for graduation as outlined in AAC Rule 290-3-1-.02(8)(a) are determined according to guidelines established by the State Department of Education. Partial/full credit agreements shall be developed between the local board of education and participating post-secondary institutions for courses that are excluded from the SDE guidelines for assigning credit.”

The local LEA determines what is reflected on the high school transcript based off of the approved dual enrollment course list.

The courses offered are taught as any other college class with fully-credentialed Wallace Community College faculty using the same textbooks and syllabi whether taught on a high school campus or on a WCC campus.

Students should work very closely with their guidance counselors during the process of admission. Students may also contact Wallace Community College’s dual enrollment department at dualenrollment@wallace.edu or 556-2423 for more information.
