Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)

PhoenixLaw complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). FERPA was designed to protect the confidentiality of student records, guarantee student access to certain records, regulate disclosure of information from student files, provide opportunities for students to correct or amend records and add explanatory statements, and provide opportunities for students to file complaints with the U.S. Department of Education alleging infractions of the law.

For students who would like to obtain more specific information about FERPA, a Model Notification of Rights under FERPA for Post-Secondary Institutions is posted on the notice board outside the Registrar's office.
