University Registrar and School Certifying Official for Veterans, Kathy Gros sent an email informing students of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, as well as the university’s Privacy Guidelines.
FERPA protects a student’s educational records, and as a child turns 18, all rights under FERPA are transferred from the parent to the child.
Under this act, student’s hold the right to inspect/review their educational records, seek to amend them, and more.
“Maintaining confidentiality of student records is everyone’s responsibility whether you are faculty, staff or student,” Gros wrote in the email.
