AAMI is committed to upholding transparency and regulatory compliance regarding student privacy, campus safety, and access to public records. This page outlines our key public information policies as required by federal and state laws.
Student Privacy & Directory Information
Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), AAMI may release certain “directory information” without a student’s consent when a legitimate request is submitted in writing. This includes:
- Student’s name
- Address
- Date and place of birth
- Major field of study
- Dates of attendance
- Degrees and awards received
- Participation in official activities
- Most recent previous school attended
If you wish to keep your directory information confidential, you may submit a written request to the Registrar at any time.
Note: No other academic or personal records will be released without the student’s written consent. Students are entitled to review their academic records by request.
Academic Transcripts
Transcripts are released only upon written request by the student. AAMI does not issue transcripts without proper authorization in accordance with FERPA guidelines.
Campus Security Policy
AAMI maintains compliance with the Campus Security Act of 1990 and Public Law 101-542. Students and prospective students can find campus crime statistics at: ope.ed.gov/security
An updated report is maintained each year and is available in the AAMI Library and Administrative Office. The Advisory Committee on Campus Safety can provide this information upon request.
Weapons of any kind, including firearms or materials that can inflict harm, are prohibited on AAMI’s campus and at all instructional or service facilities, in accordance with N.Y. Penal Law 265.01(3).265.01-a.
Non-Discrimination & Harassment
AAMI has a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, sexual harassment, and bias-related crimes. These protections are outlined in Appendix A of the Student Handbook, which is distributed to all students and available publicly online.
Drug & Alcohol Policy
In compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, AAMI annually distributes detailed information regarding:
- The school’s substance abuse and alcohol policies
- College and criminal sanctions for violations
- Health risks of drug and alcohol abuse
- Available counseling and treatment resources
This policy applies to all students and employees and is enforced year-round.
Disability Services
Students with disabilities, including pregnancy-related needs, are encouraged to contact AAMI’s Disability Officer to request accommodations. AAMI will provide reasonable accommodations that do not impose undue hardship or create safety risks, in accordance with federal law.
Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis with a custom plan created for each student’s needs.
