Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a federal law that governs the education records of eligible students.

Under FERPA, a student may inspect and review the student's education records and seek an amendment of the education records that the student believes are inaccurate. FERPA also restricts how and when the university can disclose a student's education record.

As the designated steward of student education records, the Registrar’s Office is dedicated to protecting student information and ensuring compliance with FERPA regulations.
