Training Overview
How to Adhere to FERPA Requirements for 2023
The Department of Education recently updated its guidance and resources to protect student privacy, addressing a growing wave of cybersecurity attacks, third-party data partnerships, and parental requests for academic and health details. To stay compliant, you must ensure that your college or university adheres to the current, far-reaching requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
From students’ desires to see admission records to parents’ interests in grades to roommates’ concerns about mental health, you need to release only the information you are legally obligated to provide without revealing confidential details protected by law.
Your institution must have policies and notices in place. Students have the right to review their personal data. In specific scenarios, colleges and universities can disclose information without the student’s consent to parents, the media, or members of the public.
