Comment on Darlene Valenciana's post: I agree. especially in the age of social media, it is important to remember how even little interactions can influence a school's overall reputation.

A school may derive no more than 90% of its revenue from FSA programs.

Perkins Loan expenditures are reported to the U.S. Department of Education through the FISAP.

It is important to create a record of exit counseling information sent to students who are withdrawn.

Students are more forgiving of an issue if the FA Officer helping them displays a concerning and positive attitude.

Online courses required a revision to the definition of "attendance" for students, which affects when FERPA is applied.

FERPA applies to a student by their first day of class.

Comment on Blake Cronin's post: I was also surprised to see information like date-of-birth was considered Directory Information as it is something I consider as a personal identifier. 

I tended to think of FERPA in relation to keeping student records private and secure. This module has increased my awareness of the requirements to respond to a student's request to access their own record.
