Module help understand FERPA
Its is very important to follow FERPA guidlines
Students information is only accessible to authorised employees only
Interesting that it can take up to 45 days for documents to be released to the student.
I learned information is very important to the privacy of others and I will check the validity of information requests.
I plan to ensure compliance by sharing records only with authorized parties, and understanding when consent is required for disclosure.
FERPA compliance ensures that student's records are protected, granting them the right to access and control the disclosure of their information. I will apply this knowledge by sharing it only when permitted and following institutional policies to maintain confidentiality.
Not having to grant immediate access. What is not considered a student record and other limitations.
This is a refresher course for a new position. I worked in higher education previously and most recently worked in healthcare.
Regulations are necessary when having access to student records as well as other data sharing aspects (PII, PHI, HIPAA).
It's truly important to keep students information confidential, and not to release any information about the student to anyone that is not on there sign FERPA affidavit.
From what I understand, FERPA is essentially the education system's version of HIPPA. It's important to maintain the trust of our student and our professional integrity
The student or parent has a right to access their educational record. The institution has 45 days to comply. Any information, even written notes, are part of the record.
The importance of laws and regulation to protect information is beneficial for students and educators.
