Comprehend Current Compliance Standards and Explore Impending Developments To Adapt On Your Campus
Although colleges have been subject to FERPA for nearly 50 years, and although few if any statutes have such wide-reaching, everyday application on our campuses, most of us still don't know much about it. As a result, violations abound.
Everyone on campus who deals with any kind of student records — whether academic or not, formal or informal, permanent or temporary, paper or electronic, centrally or locally stored, and even including email — should have a grounding in FERPA. Making assumptions about its scope and provisions can lead to mistakes, non-compliance, and legal complaints.
FERPA expert, Steve McDonald, shares his insight into FERPA and its complexities. You’ll find practical steps and solutions and ensure you understand the rules and how to implement them correctly at your institution.
