Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Maricopa Community College District website describes FERPA and its origins. The site states, "...Congress enacted the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which places restrictions on any school, college or university receiving federal funds over the release of student records."

Because this law impacts the academic information parents may receive about their student, including GPA, students and parents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with this law.
