Your Privacy Rights: Understanding FERPA 

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of your college records. It gives you control over who can see your academic information—and how it’s shared.

FERPA applies to all students at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ), regardless of age, once they’ve enrolled in classes.

Your Rights Under FERPA

As a Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ student, FERPA gives you the right to:

  • View your education records. You can inspect your academic files and transcripts.
  • Request corrections. If you believe something’s wrong in your record, you can ask for a change.
  • Control who sees your info. You decide if your information—like grades or enrollment—can be shared with others.
  • File a complaint. If you think your rights have been violated, you can contact the U.S. Department of Education.

Need to Share Your Records?

If you’d like Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ to talk to a parent, guardian, or someone else about your academic info, you’ll need to fill out a FERPA Release Authorization form. The form is available on Requested Documents from MyÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ.
