One of the biggest struggles registrars face is ignorance about FERPA on the part of those outside their office, specifically parents and faculty. This leads to two big headaches: the potential for a FERPA violation and poor relations with parents.

With this 90-minute taped audio conference, you can train all campus administrators and faculty members who interact with parents regarding information related to students' education records.

Hosted by FERPA expert Richard Rainsberger, Ph.D., this convenient audio conference gives you practical guidance on how to:

• Provide parents with information in a FERPA-compliant manner
• Identify strategies to get faculty thinking about and complying with FERPA
• Work with parents on issues related to admissions, the business office, the registrar's office, academic departments and campus security
• Determine the difference between biological and custodial parents as well as how to deal with abrasive parents
• Use Blackboard in compliance with FERPA and determine how much student information you can share with students who are members of college committees

You also learn how faculty can legally write a letter of recommendation, post grades, distribute exams and terms papers, share information with parents, and access student records.
