I have learned that it best to take your time and check to see if information can be released and not pressured to give it. Better safe than sorry. Even harder to release any information over the phone and a written request is needed and would need to be verified.
that education files are not available to all instructors and that immediate access can be declined as the schol has 45 days to respons
I learned that FERPA tarining is very important in order to become more prepared for great futute
I have learned about student's rights
Reply to Katherine Hillerich's post: Great comment. The difficulty is with the supporting systems that make it difficult to avoid seeing some of this information.
I learned that once a student's record changes hands (new advisor, etc) the hand wrrtten notes of the previous advisor are no longer considered "priviledged" information.
FERPA applies to all students and all of their personally information.
FERPA is designed to protect the student’s rights regarding accessing their student files, their rights of confidentiality and privacy. This training educates us on how to deal with the students' information.
Very good information about privacy of students and the learning process.
This reminds me of the seriousness of protecting the privacy of my students and I will always carefully consider any sharing of student information with others and further support and utilize tools that protect the information and only permit it to be shared with the appropriate people.
This information presented is very significant and important in order to protect the privacy of the students and to make sure that all of us are complying with the laws and regulations when it comes to student information.
The most interesting information was the fact that the advisor's notes are not consider educational records and the students have the right to read them.

I have learned how important it is to carefully maintain student privacy and enable access to records.
It has reinforced some of my prior learning and clarified terms more clearly. Thank you
FERPA compliance, what is an official record, official.
From this course thus far, I have gained a better understanding of what FERPA is, what are considered the academic records of students and how a student get his or her record amended, if applicable. I also learned that a school is not required to maintain particular education records or education records that contain specific information.
This importance of protecting student privacy, how the student will need to request their information, and importantly the proper steps we must take to ensure we comply with the policy when providing them their information.
As an adjunct faculty member, I don't see this impacting me directly, and even moreso as an online instructor. But - I do understand the need. I question the example of notes taken by a predecessor that are passed to a successor not being excluded from student's rights to view.
I learned that FERPA is for parents for k through high school. And pertains to students beyond high school.
FERPA demonstrates the protection of both staff and more so, for the students information records.
I learned a lot that I did not know about privacy pertaining to educational records. Will definitely use this information when the need arises.
