Confidentiality of Records

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, better known as FERPA or the Buckley Amendment, governs access to student records and their confidentiality. Faculty and staff may have access to student records on a “need-to-know” basis provided that no information is released to any party not having this “need.” All requests from other parties for access to students’ records must be made of the Admissions and Records Office at 796-6100. Class lists are confidential documents covered by FERPA.
