I am very familiar with HIPAA but learned FERPA does not always result in a fine and that a student cannot demand their records and the institution has 45 days to get the student the records. The institution may charge for the records as long as the cost does not prohibit the student from obtaining them
FERPA honestly affects something as simple as contacting a student via phone if it's not a personal mobile number, because you could have a spouse unaware of the fact that their significant other is taking classes. Perhaps, there are valid reasons for that individual to want to keep their education private. So you can't just spout off information about the institution and reason for your call if leaving a message. Your working relationship with the student is essentially private information and should be treated as such -- whether that's calling at risk students about progress or refusing to discuss grades/ progress with a family member -- unless express permission was given.
FERPA is all new to me, so I learned quite a bit. I will use this information to better serve my students as an instructor.
FERPA is designed to protect the student as well as the administration. In order to protect the right's of both parties, continuously updating your knowledge on the matter is crucial. I plan on utilizing this information throughout my career in higher education.
I have learned to make sure that all paperwork is confidential
I really intend to ensure all privacy of my student education records are obeyed and adhered to according to the law
I've learned the importance of protecting student privacy and how notes can become academic record if they no longer meet the definition of "sole possession".
I will make sure that while I am tutoring students, I remember that information is confidential. I will do my best to protect their privacy and not tell other students the information that I know.
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, commonly known as FERPA, is a federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records.
Since I have taken the FERPA course, I will try to apply the information that I have learned in the future.
FERPA information is confidential. Ferpa is the HIPPA of student records

It is important to remain informed about FERPA, because it is what protects students and staff members information and keeps them safe.
It is important that a distinction is made between personal notes and notes shared as part of a student's official record.
I learned that it is everyone's responsibility to protect a student's record and adhere to FERPA regulations as it pertains to disclosure.
WOW! FERPA is a great way to protect personal information.
I've learned that FERPA protects a student's right to their records and student files, and not everyone has access to them even if they work in the educational institution.
I learned that notes made by an instructor (sole possession notes), as long as they are kept private and not shared with another party, do not have to be shared with the student.
