About FERPA
FERPA: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 establishes the rights of students with regards to educational records. The act makes provision for inspection, review and amendment of educational records by the students and requires, in most instances, prior consent from the student for disclosure of such records to third parties. The consent must be in writing, signed and dated by the student and must specify records to be released, reason for release and the names of the parties to whom such records shall be released. The act applies to all persons formerly and currently enrolled at the educational institution. Access to educational records does not give permission to make changes to the student’s records.
For more information visit: the FERPA website
When a student reaches the age of 18 or begins attending a post-secondary institution, regardless of age or dependency status, FERPA rights transfer from the parent/guardian to the student. A student wishing to waive FERPA rights and share otherwise protected information with others must complete a FERPA Release Form.
