Web Privacy Statement

HCU fully complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which disallows the release of educational records without the student鈥檚 consent.

The HCU web consists of several web servers. Some servers hosted by HCU may embrace different privacy statements as their specific needs require. If another HCU web server has a privacy statement that is different from this statement, that policy will be posted on their site. The HCU web site encompasses links to external web sites; however HCU is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external web links.
