FERPA

The Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) is a 1974 federal law also known as the Buckley Amendment. Although FERPA contains exceptions for the release of “directory information” without a student's prior written consent, students have the right to request that even such directory information not be disclosed.


FERPA gives students the right to:
1. Control the disclosure of their education records to others; and
2. Inspect and review their own education records; and
3. Challenge the content of their education records.
