AACRAO recently launched a dedicated AACRAO Exchange community focused entirely on FERPA compliance and learner records best practices. Members are invited to join this dedicated online space in the AACRAO Exchange designed for registrars, enrollment professionals, and institutional staff who navigate student privacy compliance every day. The new FERPA Community will give members a central, moderated space to ask questions and connect with colleagues.
