Hello all,
Under FERPA, students have the right to challenge a record that they think is not accurate. I also learned that certain information is restricted and should not be disclosed to the student, which may require redaction to protect the confidentiality and privacy of other parties referenced in the document(s). I learned from this module that FERPA allows an institution 45 days to comply with a student’s request to review their records. This provides sufficient time if it is necessary to pull together educational records from different sources, redact information about other students, or research specific records questions requested by the student.
