What are my rights under FERPA?
Under FERPA, you have a right to inspect and review your educational records; request to amend your educational records; and have some control over the disclosure of information from your educational records.
When do FERPA rights begin?
Your FERPA rights begin when you enroll; therefore, when you have registered, paid, and classes have begun.
Can my parents get information about me?
Without your express written permission your parents - like all other third parties - may have access only to your directory information. If you have restricted some or all of your directory information from access by the public, then those items of directory information are considered confidential, and cannot be released to your parents or other third parties.
Who can access my educational records?
Your educational records are confidential and may be disclosed to appropriate University administrators, faculty members, staff members, and appropriate administrators who require such access in order to perform their legitimate educational and business duties. Access will be needed only when such records are required in furtherance of the educational or business purposes of the student or University.
How can I restrict access to public or directory information about me?
If you are currently enrolled, you may request that all or some of your directory information be made confidential by contacting the Registrar's Office. Directory restriction is available to all students during the first twelve days of a fall or spring semester or during the first four days of a summer session. Only currently enrolled students may restrict their directory information, but students may revoke the restriction of their information at any time.
Whom should I contact with questions or concerns?
Direct general questions to the Registrar, as appropriate. Send comments or suggestions to the Registrar's office.
