3. Research Access. Faculty and students may request access to confidential information about students for the purpose of research. The Director of Admissions and the Registrar may authorize release of information if the investigator has obtained the written permission of each individual student who is part of the sample or, without such permission, if the information requested is not identifiable as to an individual student. All other requests for confidential information for the purpose of research will be submitted to the University Human Rights Committee for recommendation of approval or disapproval. Unless a student objects, the University Human Rights Committee may approve such requests only if the need to identify individuals is central to the research, no other reasonable method of obtaining the necessary information is available, and the information being obtained is deemed incapable of being used in such a   way as to prejudice the well being of individual students. A notice to be published in each year's Schedule of Courses will inform students that they may forbid the release of information about themselves for this purpose by written notification to the Dean of Admissions. In all cases, the investigator must pay the actual cost of retrieving the information and, if the information is not obtained from the computer file, conditions may be imposed to safeguard the confidentiality of records. Investigators may be required to have the information retrieved by a member of the Office of Admissions and Records staff on a time available or overtime basis. 

4. Student Access to Own Records. A student may view all information in his record in the possession of the Dean of Admissions and Records, except letters or memoranda solicited by the University with the understanding that disclosure of such letters or memoranda will not be made to the student. 

5. University of Iowa Student Association Access. Mailings to students' home addresses or addresses of their parents will be made for the University of Iowa Student Association (at its expense) upon the written request of the Director of Student Development, acting on the recommendation of the President of the University of Iowa Student Association to comply with the terms of resolutions legitimately passed by the University of Iowa Student Association Senate. Student organizations may not have access to confidential records. 

6. Access Directed by Board of Regents. In accordance with Board of Regent policy, information concerning students who have been suspended or expelled or who are otherwise ineligible for admission or re-registration for disciplinary reasons must be provided to appropriate administrative officials at Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa. 

7. Public Information. Unless a student objects, the University may from time to time release positive information about him, such as information about scholarships and honors. A notice to be published in each year's
