The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) contains several provisions that are important to students such as access to educational files, including financial records, the release of personally identifiable records, directory information and transcripts. University employees may need to access student data to fulfill employment responsibilities. It is important to understand that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects student data from unlawful use and disclosure.
