Under FERPA, you have certain rights related to your education records, including the right to have access to your own education records, and the right to have control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your education records (except in certain circumstances specified in the FERPA regulations). FERPA also requires University faculty, staff, vendors and affiliates (otherwise known as “school officials”) to protect your education records and the information contained in those records, and to only share the contents of those records in accordance with FERPA’s requirements. Except under limited exceptions specified in FERPA, school officials can only share your education records or discuss your records with your “prior written consent”—that is, your explicit permission in writing.</p> <p>There may be times when students want to share certain records with someone outside the University or have that person contact a University office to discuss some aspect of their education records or information contained in your education records.
