The significance of confidentiality and access to a student's educational record. I must remember this law and follow the guideline to keep confidentiality of students’ education record.
The yearly review and acknowledgement of the FERPA rules is important both for th student and the institution.
This gave me insight into the drama I went through to get my academic records from one institution recently. I do think they may have violated my rights - I did eventually get what I needed however.
I have learned that FERPA is a medium to protect all students from k-12 and all the way to college. It is a way to keep a student's record safe. Nowadays, when someone can find one thing on you, turn and look you up in google, and find the rest. Ferpa protects the student's from this issue, which is good.
My biggest take away about FERPA is ensuring the privacy of my students and keep confidentiality of their records, and most of all abiding their guidelines and recommendations to avoid any violations.
Remember that our students are adults and even well interntioned parents must have written permission to see information.
My biggest take away from this module was to be more mindful of authenticating my calls when speaking with students. It is difficult to verify identity over a phone call but that extra security is very high priority.
Found it very interesting that if a student or eligible parent wishes to contest information within an educational record, the institution must consider the request and respond within a reasonable time period indicating if the record will be amended or not.
FERPA is necessary in maintaining and protecting the records and information of students.
I learned the importance of staying clear from the FPCO investigating complaints and violations. This may be avoided by employees being compliant and receiving continued education on FERPA.
My main take away from this module is that student information is private to anyone who is not either the student themselves or an "eligible" person such as an employee of the institution. I also learned that certain employees are privy to certain information based on their role within an educational institution. Lastlly I learned the process for filing complaints and grievances when FERPA is belived to have been violated.
FERPA is important to the student. As faculty it is our due diligence to protect the students privacy and only access necessary information, ie grades from my class.
Very similar to HIPAA in medical. Student information is confidential and on a need to know basis. Just becaues you work at the school and have access to students information does not allow you to view their information.
Interesting that parent financials are protected information and held from students.
One thing I learned about FERPA in this module that I previously didn't know was to use a "Need to know basis" within our organization to determine which employee's truly need access to student confidential information to fullfill the responsiblities of their job.
FERPA has taught me the importance of student privacy, and that a lot of information about a student cannot be disclosed.
