Supporting Your Student
Accessing Your Student’s Records
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s educational records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. In order for a student to grant a parent (or another individual) access to their student educational records, the student must complete the Student Information Release Authorization form.
