I learned about how safety and regulations have changed for online learning. It also went over ways that schools have adapted to these changes and what security measures have been put in place. It was interesting to learn that even if a student chooses to opt out, they cannot be anonymous within their online class.

During the accreditation process, the institutions must demonstrate how they know they are being effective in accomplishing their institutional mission and show specific evidence that demonstrates compliance with that standard.

This training is necessary so that we are aware of all the procedures and regulatory updates in our profession. It also gives us an idea of ​​how to maintain an organized system, like a notebook, in our work to provide good guidance to future students.

I learned that it is important for the institution to understand the essence of the federal guidelines in order to better communicate how they meet the criteria set by their accrediting agency.

The continuation of this module has taught me multiple things. What happens to records if an institution has been sold or under new ownership. When FERPA applies and does not apply for students/graduates. How to help students to obtain their school records if they cannot be there physically to receive them. As well as how security protocols have been implemented to help reinforce protection of student records. This information will help me better perform my working duties as I know more on the subject and can help keep their information protected.

Throughout this module, I have learned about recordkeeping, general rules to follow when releasing student records, how FERPA applies to third parties, and more. I intend to use this knowledge to make sure I am following FERPA's guidelines to ensure I am protecting students' private information.

I learned that every accrediting agency identifies the types of schools they serve through their mission.

From this module I have learned the key components that make up FERPA. As well as learning what is and isn't protected under this federal law. I will be using FERPA in my day-to-day activities while working for ECPI to protect students' privacy.

Is important to send a notification to student to maintain updated the student records regarding the FERPA information .
