(Faculty, Staff & Administrators)
What is FERPA?
FERPA 代表“Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act" of 1974, as amended. It is commonly known as FERPA, the privacy act or the Buckley amendment. It is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of educational records, 确立学生检查和审查其教育记录的权利,并通过非正式和正式听证会为纠正不准确和误导性数据提供指导.
FERPA allows the release of specified items but does not require it. Items that may be released are called directory information.
十大网赌正规网址官网区将这些项目归类为目录信息:学生姓名, dates of attendance, 主要, classification, enrollment status (full-time or part-time), previous institution(s) attended, degree(s) awarded, academic honors/awards.
学生可以通过填写“Withholding of 信息rmation Form然后把它改成了招生办公室,弗莱彻管理中心216室.
在此信息输入系统后,学生的信息将被封锁. Student information may not be released without a signed "FERPA Consent Form" from the student.
永远不能被识别为目录信息的项目是学生的社会安全号码或机构识别号码, address, telephone number, date of birth, race/ethnicity, 公民身份, 国籍, 性别, 成绩, grade point average or class schedule.
What is a student educational record?A student educational record is any record with certain exceptions, 由一个或多个学生直接相关的机构维护的. This record can contain a student’s name, or students’ name, or information from which an individual student, can be personally (individually) identified. These records include files, 文档, and materials in whatever medium (handwriting, 打印, monitor screen, 磁带, 磁盘, 电影, 缩微胶片, 缩微胶片或笔记),包含与学生直接相关的信息,并从中可以识别学生的个人身份. If ever in doubt whether information may be released, don’t. Please call one of the directors in admissions and records. 他们将帮助您确定信息是否是教育记录和/或是否可以在未经书面同意的情况下披露. To be safe, always think written consent. |
What is a legitimate educational interest?合法的教育利益是指以学院的名义进行的任何授权的利益或活动,而获得教育记录是正确履行承诺所必需的或适当的. This means if a student is assigned to you for advising, you have a legitimate educational interest and may access his/her records. 如果一个好朋友让你告诉他他女儿的成绩,千万别告诉他. This has two problems. 首先,除非这个学生是你的顾问,否则你没有合法的教育利益. 第二个, 如果父母没有向招生和记录办公室提交抚养证明表格, the parent is not entitled to this information. |
Posting of 成绩 by facultyThe public posting of 成绩 either by the student’s name, institutional student identification number, 社会安全号码或号码的任何部分未经学生的书面许可是违法的 FERPA. 这包括在班级/院校网站张贴成绩,并适用于任何公开张贴选修远程教育课程学生的成绩. Even with names obscured, 数字学生标识符被视为个人身份信息. The practice of posting 成绩 by social security number, student identification number or any portion of the number violates FERPA. Notification of 成绩 via a postcard violates a student’s privacy. 在十大网赌正规网址官网区系统之外,没有通过互联网发送成绩的保密保证. 如果未经授权的第三方进入,该机构将承担责任, 以任何方式, to a student’s education record through any electronic transmission method. A third party in this definition could be parents or guardians, boyfriend or girlfriend, 室友, 等. Only secure websites are approved by FERPA for accessing grade information. |
