Information for Families

  • The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

    FERPA is a federal privacy law that protects students’ information. When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, all rights afforded to parents under FERPA transfer to the student. This means that schools are prohibited from sharing information with parents without the student’s consent, except under specific circumstances. For example:

    • Schools may disclose education records to parents if the student is a dependent for income tax purposes.
    • Schools may disclose education records to parents if a health or safety emergency involves their son or daughter.
    • Schools may inform parents if the student who is under age 21 has violated any law or its policy concerning the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance.

    You can read a detailed guide to FERPA here.
