Guidelines to Ensure FERPA Compliance
- Obtain signed, written permission from the student before sharing educational record information, including grades and grade point averages, with parents or others outside the institution
(Exception: a parent who provides a copy of his/her most recent federal income tax return verifying that the student is claimed as a dependent may be given access to student record information.)
- Only disclose education records to school officials who have a legitimate educational interest
- Never post students' papers, scores or grades in a public place on which names, CUID, social security numbers, or other personal identifiers are displayed. If posted, use a code known only to you and the student
- Never release information about a student disciplinary matter without conferring with the University General Counsel or Vice President for Student Affairs
- The office of the Registrar is the first stop for any questions about FERPA
