Ferpa compliance is kinda close to Hippa compliance in ways.
I learned that as an instructor, I should only be accessing student information as it applies to my teaching or course. I also learned if we have an audit or accreditation, like we are now, that ECPI is required to put a notification in each student file stating information was shared, with who, why, how,when and for what purpose.
I did not know that parents can view their child's information if their child is under 21 and has extenuating circumstances like an alcohol or drug issue.
i have learned the steps to take should a parent request or what to record if release is permitted
I think I understand better FERPA and protect my student's records.
Understanding details of the FEPRA is very confusing and complicated!
I understood the FERPA compliance is especially important process that will help protect both the student and an organization.
Have better understood FERPA and best practices.
Institutions have to be careful about what content they release. If the student did not sign a content release form, the college could get in trouble for violating FERPA.
Reviewing compliance guidlines regularly is vital for keeping your establishment in compliance, Understanding FERPA and maintaining the highest regard for the regulations is best practice.
I learned that each institution may have specific considerations when developing policies and procedures related to FERPA and privacy in general. The delivery method (online, classroom), programs of study (medical, legal), additional requirements (labs, externships), student population (dependent, independent) and other factors may come into play.
There are many guidelines put in place to understand what can and cannot be shared about a students infoormation.
I learned the importance of keeping students records confidential, in addition to understanding to whom one may release the records to.
Written releases are essential prior to releasing student information; sudents may opt out of dean
s list announcements
I am always careful not to release student grades like was done in the past of posting publicly.
It is important to know the rules governing what information can and cannot be released.
I was suprised to learn that a student ID must be used with something else to verify a student's ID
I found it interesting that a student's SSN is considered non directory information and is not considered a violation if released. At the same time, a parent has to have a consent of release from their student (child) to receive access to their records.
I learned what information is consider directory and non directory and what steps has to be followed to release the student's information.
