FERPA Student Protection Policy

1. Policy Statement

The institution complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and protects the privacy of student education records. Student records and personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to any third party without the student’s prior written consent, except as permitted by FERPA regulations. The institution maintains safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of student records and limits access to authorized personnel with legitimate educational interests.

2. Purpose

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student

education records and personally identifiable information (PII). It ensures that student information is not shared with
