The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ensures the privacy of student records by regulating how institutions disclose information from those records. This audio conference explores what FERPA has to say about disclosures to the student, within the institution and to a third party. You learn the answers to questions, such as: what can you disclose to other education officials?; what/who is considered a "third party"?; what can you disclose to third parties?; how does the USA Patriot Act affect disclosures under FERPA?; and more.
