"[The FERPA Answer Book] is a must-have, exemplary resource for anyone who’s responsible for administration of university policies concerning confidentiality of student records. As our university’s in-house expert on FERPA, I use the information to stay abreast of advancing issues and to validate and refresh my knowledge of the federal regulations. I also draw from the rulings in the newsletter to create campus-wide FERPA training."
Sheri C. Kallemback, Director of Registrar Support Services

Now more than ever, this is your must-have resource on all aspects of student records privacy — to ensure you comply with the changing FERPA regulations. In convenient question-and-answer format, you find out how the courts have ruled on privacy and access issues such as:
- How should your institution release the final results of campus disciplinary proceedings?
- Can a professor post student's course or exam grades without their prior written consent?
- When should you contact a student's parents?
- Can you modify your institution's FERPA compliance procedures when replacing paper files with electronic records?
- Should your institution adopt a policy that limits who can update or query your student information database?
- And many more
Plus, every other month you receive a bulletin updating you on the most recent FERPA decisions, rulings and news. And, three chapter supplements fill you in on the wide-ranging changes in privacy-of-records laws.
