Access to Student Education Records

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a Federal law which provides that the institution will maintain the confidentiality of student education records.  College credit providers reserve the right to refuse parental access to student education records without the written consent of the student.  We recommend that students and parents review the FERPA policy of each institution where the student is enrolling for college credit.
