什么是FERPA?
The Family 教育al Rights 和 Privacy Act of 1974 (also known as the Buckley Amendment) is a Federal Law that helps protect the privacy of student education records. 该法案赋予学生查阅和审查教育记录的权利, 寻求修改这些记录的权利, 以及限制从记录中披露信息的权利. The intent of the legislation is to protect the rights of students 和 to ensure the privacy 和 accuracy of education records. The Act applies to all institutions that are recipients of federal aid administered by the Secretary of 教育.

FERPA权利何时开始?
FERPA governs 和 protects students' rights to their individual educational records. Their FERPA rights begin when they enroll; that is, when the student has scheduled classes.  

What information about students may be released to 教员 和 University staff members?

All other personally identifiable information in a student's educational record is confidential 和 may be disclosed to appropriate faculty 和 staff members only if their normal job duties require such access.

什么是目录信息?

如果学生选择限制目录信息的发布, NO information can be released without further written permission of the student. Should someone inquire about an individual who has restricted the release of his/her 目录信息, 适当的教职员工回应是, “对不起。, 我不掌握有关此人的任何信息."

我是否需要公布学生的教育记录信息?
FERPA regulations state that you MAY release 目录信息 about a student, 但FERPA并不要求或强迫你这样做.

那传票呢?
