The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. However, when a student turns 18 years old or enters a post-secondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student.<\/p>\n
It is the University\u2019s policy that student data should only be released to the parent by the student themselves. If your parent, spouse or legal guardian needs to have direct contact with a University administrator or faculty member on campus, please visit the Proxy Information web page<\/a> for information about setting up a temporary Proxy Account.<\/p>\n
