What is FERPA?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the confidentiality of student information. More specifically, FERPA protects personally identifiable information in students’ education records from disclosure without written consent unless an exception to the consent requirement applies.
