Mandatory Student-Related FERPA Training

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 governs how educational institutions control and safeguard their student records. 

In order to assist Data Warehouse users in gaining an understanding of FERPA, the Office of the University Registrar has developed an on-line FERPA tutorial and quiz available in ANGEL. New users to the Data Warehouse, who are requesting access to any data base containing student data, will be required to complete the tutorial and pass the quiz with a grade of 70% or higher.

Depending on the user’s prior knowledge of FERPA, the tutorial and quiz should take a maximum of 60 minutes to complete.
