What is FERPA, and why does it make it so hard for me to obtain information about my son/daughter?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, also known as the Buckley Amendment, is a federal law regarding the privacy and confidentiality of student records at a state-supported institution of higher education. FERPA, and the corresponding Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 351.065, and Oregon Administrative Rule (ORA) 580-013-0005 of the State Board of Higher Education afford students certain rights with respect to their educational records. Refer to the OSU Registrar’s office for more information regarding FERPA and other information regarding the confidentiality of student records at the Registrar’s office.
