Students recently received an email about their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), outlining their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the federal law that governs access to student education records.

Employees who work with student data are expected to handle that information in compliance with FERPA and university policy. For an overview of these responsibilities and available training, visit the Instructor and Staff FERPA page.

Coming in October: Join the FERPA Open Forum hosted by the Office of the Registrar. Register here to participate.

In Spring 2025, updates were made to simplify access to repeating a course, ensure Grade Point Average (GPA) calculation better represents academic progress, and provide additional academic flexibility for undergraduate and graduate degree students, while codifying policy for certain existing practices. The updated policy is in effect beginning in the fall 2025 semester.
