FERPA
The Student Case Management & Referral Coordination office records regarding students are governed by FERPA. FERPA protects the privacy of student education records, yet allows schools to disclose those records, without consent under certain conditions, but are not limited to (34 CFR § 99.31):
- School officials with legitimate educational interest and have a “need to know”;
- Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
- Cases of health and safety emergencies;
