FERPA Summation

Clemson can only give parents access to a student's records if the student is a dependent and is claimed on the parent's most recent tax return.
Every faculty and staff member does not have a legitimate educational interest in all student records of all students enrolled at Clemson. This issue must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
The definition of Education Records is very broad. You can assume that any document related to a student is an Education Record.
Directory Information as defined by Clemson may be disclosed to third parties. However, if the third party is going to use that information for purposes of commercial solicitation, the disclosure may be prohibited by state law (Family Privacy Protection Act). If you receive this type of request, please contact the General Counsel's office (864.656.3414) for assistance before making the disclosure.
Students only have the right to review their own education records. If a document contains information regarding more than one student, the part of the document unrelated to the student requesting the information cannot be disclosed.
