FERPA
Who can know what information!
Family Education Rights & Privacy Act of 1974 (Buckley Amendment), particularly the following information:
- What Dixie defines as “releasable” or “directory” information, which can be released to a third party without student’s consent.
- Students may request a restriction on the release of directory information by filling out a “Privacy Hold” form (must be renewed annually).
- Students or parents/guardians may request access to student information by completing a “Release of Information” form (must be renewed annually).
- All students taking courses at Dixie are protected under FERPA regardless of age. For example, parents do not have the right to access their child’s record even if the child is a minor.
- Forward your e-mailed certificate to kelvington@dixie.edu to gain access to Web Banner after you have completed the quz with 100% accuracy and returned the ACSA form.

Catalog Rights
Tricky Business!
A student has catalog rights for associate degree requirements, including General Education requirements, for four (4) years beginning with the date of matriculation into any degree program as long as he/she maintains continuous enrollment by completing at least one DSU credit-bearing course each academic year. The date of matriculation is not always the same as the date of first admission.
A student has catalog rights for baccalaureate degree requirements, including General Education requirements, for seven (7) years beginning with the date of matriculation into any degree program as long as s/he maintains continuous enrollment by completing at least one DSU credit-bearing course each academic year. The date of matriculation is not always the same as the date of first admission.
Students with previously earned degrees from non-Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) institutions who matriculate after July 1, 2010, must meet DSU and the Utah Board of Regents minimum standards in American Institutions, English Composition, and Quantitative Literacy (Mathematics).
Academic Policies and Procedures
Canvas
Does your student know how to use it?
Canvas is an online system for you and your students to share information, assignments, and other materials that relate to your classes and their education. You could use Canvas for online courses as well as other departments including the LIB 1010 and CIS 1200. You can use Canvas as a supplemental resource for coursework by posting course syllabi, assignments, related documents, notes, videos, web links, and updated grades where student can assess the information in a user-friendly way. Canvas also assists your students with a list of classmates in the courses so either you or your students can get in touch with each other throughout the semester for questions or even form study groups. Your individual login information for Canvas is the same as for your Dmail account as well as for the student. You and your students can access Canvas by clicking “Canvas” on the left side of the college’s website, www.utahtech.edu .
Dmail
Why do you need to know dmail?
Email for your use:
In obtaining your email, the department secretary will request a campus email account for you. Once it is created, you can reset your password. Vital administrative information will be sent to this email address, so it should be checked regularly and often. The direct address to email login is: mail.utahtech.edu
DMAIL frequently asked questions from your students:
Q:What is Dmail?
A: Dmail is an email system used by Dixie State College that is hosted by Google. It shares the same system as the popular Gmail email client.
Q: How do I get a Dmail account?

Q: What is my username and password (PIN)?
