Course Information

This interactive, online training course covers the basics of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) for all faculty and staff. It is designed to provide users with a solid awareness of student privacy issues.

The training is intentionally focused on the practical application of FERPA issues on a broad range of campus operations, rather than citing specific sections of the regulations. This makes the content approachable to people unfamiliar with the law without going into detail that would be unnecessary for them to do their work.

Train any faculty or staff member anytime or anywhere

Student privacy is a shared responsibility on campus. The content of this course was developed with everyone on campus in mind, including: faculty, the admissions office, law enforcement units, financial aid, student affairs, disciplinary bodies, and those within the records and academic services departments.

Registrars and Compliance Officers

Whether you want to train one person or the entire campus, this training package provides a foundation of student privacy awareness.
