Fines aren't imposed for FERPA violations.
very informative laws of FERPA, for privacy and accountability
Information sensitivity and compliance.
I've learned that I apparently don't know much about FERPA as I originally thought. Such as, FERPA violation complaints need to be submitted within 180 days and the institution has 45 days to comply with student request to access educational record.
From this module, I have learned the importance of FERPA in general and its role in safeguarding student information.
It was interesting to review some of the FERPA foundations. Reading about the biggest issues institutions report with FERPA, for example not being able to determine if a signature is definitely from a student, was intriguing.
This module helped me understand the importance of and policies regarding protecting student information. As a faculty member, it's vital that I utilize FERPA appropriately to safeguard my students' privacy.
I appreciated learning about FERPA and the importance of the following the laws on student's records.
confidentiality is so important to all parties especially students and employees. it save face for a great deal of legal paperwork being filed and it sets a standard/balance even for parents to know their limits.
Student information is protected similarly to health information. If I am unsure if someone should have access to the student information, I would follow up with the school/director.
I just learned that U.S. Department of Education has the authority to impose the five-year rule against any entity that FPCO determines has violated FERPA
I learned that placing sole possession notes in a student file could be accessible to a student. FERPA laws are new to me. This information is very informative and applicable even to an adjunct clinical instructor.
This information provided me awareness regarding rules and regulations governing confidentiality and access to student records.
I so appreciate this opportunity to learn more about how to become better attuned to this subject, with regards to education and best practices.
As faculty I feel FERPA plays a viable role in my job. It is important to follow strict guidelines.
No fines directly are imposed based on findings of violations.
I wonder how many students really understand FERPA and the implications.....whose responsibility is to educate them?
Protecting students' information/records is an important mandate for faculty. Ensuring confidentiality builds trust.
I had not heard of FERPA until being employed as adjunct faculty. It is nice to know that there is protection of students' personal information. Although there are time limits, students are able to request an amendment to their information if they feel it is inaccurate. I think it's wonderful that there are processes in place in which to make corrections, if needed, versus inability to redact information already placed in a record, as it was in previous years. Great information!
