Training Overview

Update your student privacy practices to avoid a lawsuit! Discover how to comply with current FERPA rules.

The academic year has only a few months left, and you must ensure that your college or university adheres to the current, far-reaching requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).


You must release only the information you are legally obligated to provide without revealing confidential details protected by law. Your institution must have policies and notices that comply with the current rules.
