FERPA Do’s and Don’ts

Family Rights and Privacy Act
FERPA Highlights
“protecting students privacy”
In accordance with the provisions of the Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the
University of West Florida has adopted the
regulation to protect the privacy rights to its
students.
FERPA places certain restrictions on the kinds of
information about students that can be shared
without explicit permission from the student.
Students may update their privacy status by logging
into Argus > My Info tab > Privacy Info link
DO—Obtain a written release from a student when using
educational record information for a recommendation.
For example, if you want to refer to a student’s GPA, class
rank, or a particular grade for a recommendation, you
would need to obtain a written release from the student
DON’T—leave graded papers with students name, I.D.
numbers, or social security numbers on a table for
students to collect themselves.
DO– lock up file cabinets and secure rooms that are used
for storing confidential student files
DON’T— just toss degree audits, transcripts, grades, etc.
in the trash can. These items must be destroyed
properly...shred it!
