What is FERPA?
FERPA, which stands for the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, provides four specific rights to eligible students: inspect/review their educational records; request the amendment of inaccurate/inappropriate educational records; consent to disclosure of his/her records; to file a complaint concerning failure of the educational institution to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

FERPA stands for Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Release of student records at Oregon State University is bound by federal law (FERPA), the Oregon Revised Statutes and by the Oregon Administrative Rules. FERPA restricts the type of information the university can share with students, individuals (including parents) and entities outside Oregon State University; unless specifically authorized, in writing, by the student. Authorization forms are available at the Student Account windows in the Kerr Administration Building.
