I learned that if an employee is also a student he or she cannot just view their own record unless they go through the proper channels in order to view the records.
I always wondered how they handled students who worked in the offices. I have learned they are not allowed to access their own records.
Important keys of integrity That EMPLOYEES should not access their records if they are students.
I feel there is so much information about FERPA its important we get the refresher training.
That EMPLOYEES do not have access to their own records to protect the in order to protect the integrity of the record
FERPA is such a broad topic, a lot of information and regulations that needs to be strictly followed or implemented. Thus it is important for employees specially the newly hired to undergo training so they can follow the correct protocol in implementing it.
interesting when an employee is also a student.....tempting
I agree with previous comments, training is essential.
Ferpa defines the privacy of a students grades and who has access to them
What really surprised me had to do with the sudden death of students due to school shootings and having to decide what inforamtion to release. Since the news, wants to know about the students who died from school shootings, they have to decide on how much information they can give out.
FERPA guarantees student information protection until graduation. Schools should be compliant of FERPA regulations.
I am surprised that FERPA violations do not include fines as a penalty.
I learned when FERPA no longer applies.
I appreciated how this module took the time to explain how FERPA applies in different situations (such as for an alumni students versus a former student who is now deceased). It is important to be able to apply the rule appropriately based on the student's enrollment status.
FERPA is about student rights just as much as it is about student privacy. Records are obtainable but under certain procedures
FERPA training should be done on hiring and a refresher with practical applications, should be done annually. I remember when grade were posted in the student lounge with only a number. It was easy to figure out who was who! Glad we can direct them to their course now.
FERPA allows students to place their difference of opinion in their rcords. It allows rights after the student leaves but ends at student's death.Employees can not access their records. All important facts to know.
This module provided great guidelines for best practices in protecting student information.
I learned FERPA not only protects the privacy rights of the student, but also ensures the student has access to their records in a timely manner.
I want to get locks for our file cabinets with student files. Even though we keep our offices locked, every morning that I come in the doors are unlocked.
