Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 23, 2026
Luther Rice College & Seminary takes the privacy of your personal information seriously. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and how you can make a request about your records.
Our commitment
Luther Rice does not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone for their marketing. There is nothing you need to opt out of to keep it that way.
What we collect
We collect the information you give us when you apply or reactivate, register for classes, request a transcript or other document, make a payment or donation, or ask us a question. We also keep the records created while you study with us, such as your courses, grades and student account.
How we use it
We use your information to admit and enroll you, deliver your courses, keep your academic and financial records, process payments and financial aid, and answer your questions. We may also tell you about programs and events. You can stop those promotional messages at any time, and you will still hear from us about your classes, your account and your records.
When we share it
We share information only when the law requires it, or when a service you rely on depends on it. For example:
- Sending your transcript to a school or employer when you order one
- Processing your federal financial aid with the U.S. Department of Education
- Confirming your enrollment or degree through the National Student Clearinghouse, for lenders and employers
- Reports the law requires, such as to the Department of Education and our accreditors
- Collecting an unpaid balance on a student account
- Trusted service providers who run systems on our behalf, such as payment processing, MyCampus and your online classes
Apart from these, we discuss your records with another person, including a parent or spouse, only with your permission. The only exceptions are the limited cases that federal student-privacy law (FERPA) allows, and the Academic Catalog describes them. Some basic details, such as your name, program and degree, are treated as directory information. The Academic Catalog explains what that includes and how to ask that yours be kept private.
Keeping it secure
Only staff who need student records for their work can see them. Online card payments are encrypted and processed to the payment card industry's security standard (PCI DSS).
How long we keep it
Academic records, including your transcript, are kept permanently so that we can confirm your studies and your degree for as long as you need us to. Financial and other records are kept for the periods the law requires.
Requests about your records
Current and former students can make these requests online:
- Get a copy of your records
- Correct something that is wrong or out of date
- Let a named person see your records, or withdraw that permission
- Stop promotional messages
Make a request. You'll sign into MyCampus Student portal with your Luther Rice account. We will confirm your request by email and tell you when to expect our answer.
If you cannot sign in, or you are not a student, write to privacy@lutherrice.edu
