FERPA Information
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) applies to educational institutions and requires the following:
- Students at postsecondary institutions must be permitted to inspect and seek amendment to their education records.
- School officials may not release personally identifiable information associated with a student's record, such as class schedule, GPA, student identification number or information pertaining to the student's academic performance, without the student's written permission.
- Institutions must ensure that all faculty and staff members are in compliance with this Federal regulation.
For additional information about FERPA, please see the Office of the Registrar's website.
