Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended (also referred to as the Buckley Amendment), is a federal law regarding the privacy of student records and the obligations of the institution, primarily in the areas of release of records and the access provided to these records. Any educational institution that receives funds under any program administered by the U.S. Department of Education is bound by FERPA requirements.
FERPA gives students four rights in regards to their education records:
- The right to review and inspect their education records
- The right to request an amendment to any part of their education records they believe is inaccurate or misleading
- The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education if the student feels their FERPA rights have been violated.
- The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information (PII) in their education record, except in those instances when FERPA allows disclosure without consent.
