Rights and Responsibilities

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that was put in place to protect the educational records of students, including those enrolled in distance or correspondence education courses or programs. In most cases, information from a student’s record cannot be released without prior written consent of the student.

FERPA affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:

The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the university receives a written request for access.
The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
The right to file a complaint with the U. S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Texas A&M International University to comply with the requirements of FERPA.
