FERPA Parent Rights

FERPA gives certain rights to parents regarding their children's educational records. Rights transfer to the student upon:

• turning 18 years old, or
• attending any institution beyond the secondary school level.

When may parents access a student's educational record?

If the student has used the Student Information Sharing page to assign their parents a PIN number and granted access to parents to specified content (grades, billing, conduct, etc.).

How can parents access a student's educational record if the student (a) has not signed a parental release form and (b) is not being claimed by either parent for federal income tax purposes?

Parents can only have access if the student is willing to release information and has granted access to the parent via the Student Information Sharing page.
