What is FERPA?
FERPA stands for Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (sometimes called the Buckley Amendment). Passed by Congress in 1974, the Act grants four specific rights to students:
the right to see the information that the institution is keeping on them
the right to seek amendment to those records and in certain cases append a statement to the record
the right to consent to disclosure of his/her records
the right to file a complaint with the FERPA Office in Washington, D.C.
