What is FERPA?
FERPA is a U.S. federal law that governs the privacy of student education records. It applies to all educational institutions that receive funding under any program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents and eligible students (18 years or older) the right to inspect, amend, and control the disclosure of their educational records.
