I really didn't realize all of the different facets of FERPA responsibilities and practices.
After a final decision, the student can include a statement in his/her permanent academic record conveying a differing opinion.
Best Practices are in place to protect students, maintain integrity of the information.
learned a great deal of so many aspects to ferpa
Make sense like HIPAA that you can't look at your own information like grades if you are an employee.
This content was very helpful in understanding and learning various aspects of FERPA and one cannot have access to its own records without following proper communication channel is something very important point to keep in mind.
It is necessary to have the training to understand how extensive the protections afforded by FERPA are. If this training were provided in all institutions, there may be a better respect for student privacy.
Training is important for employees to understand FERPA regulations. Having protocols in place and making sure employees understand these protocols are important.
It’s true, many people, me included, tend to forget that FERPA not only relates to maintaining student records private. But it also gives students the right to access and request their educational records. Students may still view their records even if they have an overdue balance.
Always follow policy when dealing with FERPA and if you have any questions, ask before giving any information.
Is a clear example of how staff members act as students, having a clear point where information can be accessed and why parts
Enlightening to learn that despite an academic institution's decision regarding an individual filing a complaint to address a discrepancy in their student academic record, that per FERPA the person has a right to submit a statement refuting the institution's decision which must be disclosed with any future records request. Good to know since I may need to resort to this in the near future if my official transcript from graduate school is not appropriately corrected after my next formal request.
I read that after death the records are no longer protected but this seems a violation of privacy whether the person is dead or alive
I learn about the student lifecycle and when our rights start and ends.
I have learned that techers can not access own grades while attending school.
The key takeaway for me is that the institution must have policies to ensure the privacy of educational records. There are many instances where employees do NOT have the right to students' grades but may have access.
I did not realize that state Laws and FERPA may be counter to each other. I would have loved more information on what to do when that happens.
The continuation of what I have been learning about the release of student information.
I learned that if the student is no longer student in the Insititute he or she has no protection by FERPA for the records, also if the student he is employee in the same institute he has no right to have access to his record, he must go through the normal Chamales.
I appreciate that the student can add a note to their record if an issue they have is not resolved to their satisfaction.
