Training Overview
Update your student privacy practices for 2023–24. Discover how to comply with current FERPA rules.
As the new academic year gets underway, you need to ensure that your college or university adheres to the current, far-reaching requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This year, you will confront a growing wave of cybersecurity attacks, third-party data partnerships, and parental requests for academic and health details.
You must release only the information you are legally obligated to provide without revealing confidential details protected by law. Your institution must have policies and notices that comply with the current rules.
