The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (“Act”) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 C.F.R. Part 99) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student records maintained by educational institutions, and sets forth the process and conditions under which institutions may disclose said information. Generally, subject to provisions in the Act, the parent(s)/guardian(s) of a minor student have the right to access their child’s education records, the right to seek to have the records amended and the right to permit or withhold disclosure of their child’s covered student records. When a student reaches 18 years of age, or enrolls at a postsecondary institution at any age, they become an Eligible Student under the Act and their FERPA rights transfer from the parent(s)/guardian(s) to the student.
