What are a student's rights under FERPA?

Under FERPA, a student has a right to

The university notifies students annually of their FERPA rights via the Digest, the university notification system.

应书面要求, the university shall provide a student access to his or her educational records except for financial records of the student's parents or guardian; and confidential letters of recommendation where the student has signed a waiver of right of access. If the records contain information on more than one student, the requesting student may inspect, 审查, or be informed on only the specific information about his or her own records. A student may obtain copies of his or her educational records. FERPA所涵盖的教育记录通常会在申请后45天内提供. 学生可以对学生的教育记录内容提出质疑，理由是这些内容不准确, 误导, 或以其他方式侵犯学生的隐私权，向记录管理员提交书面声明. The registrar is the official custodian of records at the University.

保密要求是永久的，直到学生要求取消限制. Request should be submitted to the 注册商’s email, registrar@volamdolong.com.

什么是目录信息??

目录信息是包含在学生教育记录中的信息，如果披露，通常不会被认为是有害的或侵犯隐私. 目录 Information may be released without prior consent. UNA defines directory information as the following:

  • 名字
  • 永久及本地地址
  • 电话清单

Is the University required to release a student’s directory information?

No. The only required disclosure of education records is to the student. 所有其他披露, 包括那些与学生的同意和目录信息的披露是由UNA酌情决定.

在没有学生同意的情况下，学生的教育记录会否被披露?

Yes, FERPA does contain some exceptions to the written consent rule. The following exceptions allow disclosure without consent:

  • 提供给具有合法教育利益的大学管理人员(包括合同下的第三方)
  • To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena
  • 在健康或安全紧急情况下，为保护学生或其他人，向适当的各方提供帮助
  • 如果学生在21岁以下吸毒或酗酒，给家长
  • To the provider or creator of a record to verify the validity of that record (e.g. (如怀疑欺诈)
  • To 组织 conducting research studies on behalf of the University, 前提是大学和研究机构之间有书面协议
  • 致学生寻求或打算入学或目前入学的机构的官员

谁是“大学官员”??

“大学官员”是负责促进大学教育目标的一般或特定责任的大学雇员，或与大学签订合同提供专业服务的第三方, 与大学的教育使命有关的业务和类似的行政服务.

Individuals whose responsibilities place them within this category include instructors; faculty advisers; admissions counselors; academic advisers; counselors; employment placement personnel; 院长, 部主席, 董事, and other administrative officials responsible for some part of the academic enterprise or one of the supporting activities; 大学警察 personnel; health staff; development officers; staff in 首页关系; administrative and faculty sponsors of officially recognized clubs, 组织, 等.; members, 包括学生和首页, of official college (or University) committees; staff personnel employed to assist University officials in discharging professional responsibilities; and persons or entities under contract to the University to provide a specific task or service related to the University's educational mission.

What constitutes "legitimate educational interest"?

FERPA允许大学员工在拥有“合法教育利益”的情况下查阅学生的教育记录." Such access does not require prior written consent of the student.

But what constitutes "legitimate educational interest"?

“合法的教育利益”包括执行一项任务或从事与(1)个人的常规职责或专业责任相关的活动, (ii)学生的教育, (iii)学生的纪律, (iv) a service to or benefit for a student, (v) measures to support student success, and (vi) the safety and security of the campus.

理解与“合法教育利益”相关的几点是很重要的:

  • Curiosity is not a legitimate educational interest. 就因为你能接触到班纳能看到你邻居儿子的记录, 并不意味着你对他的成绩和累积GPA有合法的教育兴趣.
  • 仅仅因为你是一所大学的雇员这一事实并不构成合法的教育利益. 你需要知道的必须与你的工作职责有关，以支持大学的教育使命. 换句话说, 记录只应在与学生的教育成就有关的公务中使用.
  • Your legitimate educational interest is limited. While you may have a need to access education records for students in your college, 你不一定有类似的需要查看你的大学以外的学生的记录. 换句话说, access to information does not authorize unrestricted use.

FERPA权利何时开始?

就FERPA而言，当一个人在一个机构“出勤”时，他就成为了学生. This includes attendance in person or remotely by videoconference, 卫星, 互联网, or other electronic and telecommunications technologies.

FERPA权利何时终止?

FERPA权利在学生毕业后继续存在，只有在相关记录被销毁或学生死亡时才会失效.

大学职员在查阅学生的教育记录前是否必须获得学生的许可?

只要“大学官员”对该学生的记录有“合法的教育利益”，他们就可以在没有学生同意的情况下查阅学生的教育记录. The student's permission is not required.

Where can I find a consent form/FERPA release?

Students may complete a FERPA release by logging into their UNA门户. Select 学者, look on the left side of the screen all the way to the bottom and you will find FERPA, 记录版本. 点击记录发布，并按照提示添加您的父母、父母或监护人. 一旦提交，您的请求将被发送到注册主任办公室进行处理.
