demographic data such as college degree, major institution, and year
awarded; OTG selection data such as Air Force Officer Qualifying Test
scores; performance data such as test scores, measurement evaluation,
merits and demerits earned, involvement in remedial programs; health
data to include height, weight aerobic program requirements and
performance; injuries that require waivers to training or delay of

#..F036 AETC L
#....System name:
Community College of the Air Force Student Record System.
System location:
The system is centrally administered by the Community College of
the Air Force, 130 East Maxwell Boulevard, Maxwell Air Force Base, AL
36112-6307. Computer processing for the system is performed by the
Systems Development Branch.
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
The system may have a record for any person who since January 1,
1968 has completed a formal course of instruction conducted by one of
the Air Force schools identified in the current Community College of
the Air Force General Catalog. Such courses do not include pre-
commissioning courses and courses conducted exclusively for officers
or their civilian counterparts. The system includes records
reflecting Air Force courses completed before 1968 and other
educational accomplishments for persons who as enlisted members of
the Air Force registered in programs of study leading to credentials
awarded by the college. Both here and where appropriate below, the
general term Air Force includes the regular Air Force, the Air Force
Reserve, and the Air National Guard.
Categories of records in the system:
Individual academic records and, where necessary to serve airmen
registered in study programs leading to credentials awarded by the
college, a variety of source or substantiating records such as copies
of registration applications and document control records derived
from such applications, civilian college transcripts, college level
examination program score reports; copies of educational records
originated by other Air Force and non-Air Force agencies external to
the college (such as the Federal Aviation Agency, the United States
Armed Forces Institute, and the Defense Activity for Non-traditional
Education Support), copies of a variety of Air Force personnel
records (such as documents derived from master records maintained by
the Air Force Manpower and Personnel Center and microfiche records of
locator data); and records of credentials awarded to graduates. The
college also maintains copies and related records of communications
from, to, or regarding persons interested in the college, its
educational programs, its student record system, and related matters.
Copies of and statistical records derived from individual responses
to surveys, questionnaires, and similar instruments authorized by HQ
USAF may also be maintained as needed for managerial evaluation and
planning by officers of the college.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
10 U.S.C. 9315, Community College of the Air Force: associate
degree; Air Force Instruction 36-2304, Community College of the Air
Force, and E.O. 9397 (SSN).
Purpose(s):
Records originated in the system document, in terms of credit
awarded or accepted in transfer by the college, individual
educational accomplishments which satisfy curricular requirements of
study programs leading to an Associate in Applied Science degree
offered by the college. Transcripts of records in the college are, at
the written request of persons concerned, furnished to any
recipient(s) designated in such requests. Such recipients typically
include Air Force Education Services Centers, other offices where Air
Force personnel are stationed, educational institutions, and
potential or current employers. CCAF transcripts and copies of other
records originated in the college are also used to support
educational and occupational counselling, planning, and development;
admission to other colleges; and related individual affairs.
Disclosures of information recorded in the system may be made to
employees of civilian contractors engaged by the Air Force to provide
services which directly or indirectly support the record system.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including
categories of users and the purposes of such uses:
In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5
U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information
contained therein may specifically be disclosed outside the DoD as a
routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
The `Blanket Routine Uses' published at the beginning of the Air
Force's compilation of systems of records notices apply to this
system.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing,
retaining, and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
Permanent student computer records are maintained on and as
necessary reproduced from magnetic media. Paper records are
maintained in file folders, card files, and special binders/cabinets
designed for computer listings.
Retrievability:
Computer records are retrievable by a combination of Social
Security Number and certain letters of last name. Paper records are
retrievable by either Social Security Number or name.
Safeguards:
Records maintained in the college are normally disclosed only
upon written request from the subject of the records or upon written
request from an Air Force officer or employee responsible to provide
educational or related services to Air Force personnel. Disclosures
to non-Air Force agencies not requested by the subject of the records
require approval of an officer of the college. Except for disclosures
within the college as may be necessary to its operations, requests by
telephone and other unwritten means will not be honored unless in the
judgment of a responsible member of the college staff the requester
is a member or employee of the Air Force acting on behalf of, or is,
the person whose record is requested. Special care is exercised to
ensure complete identification of the requester, the person whose
record is to be disclosed, and intended use. Other systematic
safeguards to ensure integrity of records include secure storage of
successive generations of computer master files, existence and long-
term retention in other Air Force facilities of records needed to
rebuild the entire system in the event of catastrophe, and
traditional measures to ensure the security of Air Force facilities.
All records in the system are attended by responsible Air Force
personnel during duty hours and stored in locked facilities under
constant or periodic surveillance by Air Force security police during
non-duty hours. Those in computer storage devices are protected by
computer system software.
Retention and disposal:
Retained in office files until superseded, obsolete, no longer
needed for reference. Specific rules for retention of permanent
microfiche have not yet been determined. It is anticipated that such
records may need to be retained for not less than 30 and not more
than 50 years beyond the latest entries on each such record. Active
master file records on the computer are by their nature evolutionary
and will be maintained permanently. Paper records maintained to serve
students registered in study programs are retained so long as a
registrant remains active in his or her program. Such records are
destroyed 1 year after a registrant completes his or her study
program. Other records are typically retained only so long as they
may serve a useful purpose, which is typically between 30 and 90
days. No rule has yet been defined for retaining records which verify
awards of credentials by the college, but it is expected that such
records will need to be archival. Computer records are destroyed by
erasing, deleting or overwriting.
