PROTECTION OF PRIVACY AND IDENTIFICATION VERIFCATION

Correspondence, files, and personal information, stated by staff or preceptors shall remain private and protected. Interns and graduates have the right to see their files by making an appointment with the program director.

Intern’s Verification Statement and files will be retained by NYDDI for seven (7) years. Family members or others are not permitted access to the data without written permission from the intern.

NYDDI follows the U.S. Department of Education Guidance Issued on Protecting Student Privacy While Using Online Educational Services. We do not share emails or email addresses.

The privacy of intern online communication and records is protected by a secure username and password.

Interns are required to sign an agreement form allowing the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) or ACEND to access and review their official transcripts and verification forms in case of an audit.
