Student Records Privacy-FERPA

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students three basic rights:

  1. The right to inspect and review their education records.
  2. The right to have some control over the disclosure of their education records.
  3. The right to seek the amendment of incorrect education records.

FERPA applies to all institutions that receive funds administered by the Secretary of Education. FERPA applies to the education records of individuals, regardless of age, who are currently, or who have been, in attendance in postsecondary institutions. Education records are those records which are directly related to a student and are maintained by an institution or a party acting for the institution.
