FAQ

What is FERPA?

FERPA places many restrictions on institutions regarding your student's academic information. If you have not been given authorization by your student, we will not be able to provide you with student-specific information. It is important for you and your student to talk about FERPA and how it impacts your ability to support your student's college experience.
