FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 (FERPA)FACT SHEET
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WASHINGTON D.C. 20202
This is based upon the DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION'S MODEL NOTIFICATION OF RIGHTS UNDER FERPA FOR POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTIONS. The FERPA gives certain rights to parents regarding their children's education records. THESE RIGHTS TRANSFER TO THE STUDENT OR FORMER STUDENT WHO HAS REACHED THE AGE OF 18 OR IS ATTENDING ANY SCHOOL BEYOND THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:
(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the School receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The School official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the School official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
(2) The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the School to amend a record should write the School official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the School decides not to amend the record as requested, the School will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student's right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
(3) The right to provide written consent before the School discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. The School discloses education records without a student's prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the School in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the School has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using School employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the School. Upon request, the School also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the School to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office; U.S. Department of Education; 400 Maryland Avenue, SW; Washington, DC 20202-5901. Schools may also disclose, without consent, directory-type information such as student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards and dates of attendance. This is hereby identified as directory information, but students and parents can request the school not to disclose that information about them. Students are being advised of their rights under this law through this pre-enrollment document, with a copy given to the student. For more information regarding FERPA, HIPPA, documents required in each student's file identifying that the student's records were disclosed to representatives of the Department of Education, the E-Sign Act and Information Security, and the FTC Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, please refer to Volume 2 of the current SFA Handbook.
