Whether you want curriculum, worksheets, maps & charts, international flags & costumes, teaching boards, puppets, DVDs, or powerpoint, the MRD is the first place you should look. The CMRD has a die-cut machine with almost 100 shapes, numbers and letters (great for scrapbook-making and other crafts). You can also laminate for 50 cents per linear foot. Call (803) 807-5160 for information or visit the CRMD online.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, with which CIU fully complies, protects the privacy of educational records, establishes the rights of students to inspect these records, and provides guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal hearings. Student records include financial accounts and financial aid records, practicum and internship assignments and evaluations, grades, veteran affairs, and Student Life files. Students have the right to file complaints concerning alleged institutional failure to comply with this Act. Copies of the institutional compliance policy are available in the Registrar’s Office.
Visit the FERPA website for more detailed information.
