The Vermont State Colleges system is an instrumentality of the State of Vermont. As such, the system and each college and university are subject to the Vermont Public Records Act, 1 V.S.A. Subchapter 3.
All requests for system or institution information pursuant to the Public Records Act must be submitted via email or in writing to the VSCS Custodian of Public Records:
Patty Turley, General Counsel
Vermont State Colleges system
P.O. Box 7
Montpelier, VT 05601
Once we receive a public records request, we will acknowledge it within the required time frame, unless we provide notice of the need for extension.
The Public Records Act does not require a public agency to create new records or summarize existing ones. Additionally, some VSCS records are exempt from disclosure. The VSCS will also charge for the cost of producing requested documents as described by the law and to require payment prior to production.
