What is a FERPA Agreement?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 as Amended, also known as the Buckley Amendment, help protect the privacy of student school records. If the student wishes to have any information disclosed or discussed with a parent(s) or any other designated individual, a Release of Information Authorization form must be filed with the Office of Enrollment Services. Once the appropriate written authorization by the student is received in this office, designated individuals may be informed of the student’s status at Providence College including but not limited to financial information, grades, academic standing, and disciplinary violations.
