All Purdue University employees who work with student records have individual responsibility to know FERPA guidelines and maintain the confidentiality of student records. By law, these records must be protected and used only by school officials when there is a legitimate educational interest. The Office of the Registrar is now requiring FERPA certification of Purdue University employees upon access to student records. Key reasons for FERPA certification
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. Any educational institution that receives funds under any program administered by the U.S. Secretary of Education must comply with FERPA. Failure to comply with FERPA may result in loss federal funds (financial aid, educational grants, etc) What does this mean?
You must be FERPA certified before you request access to student data. Certification is available on-line at the Registrar’s web site at: http://www2.itap.purdue.edu/SSTA/certifications/select.cfm and must be completed annually. Questions or concerns may be forwarded to Natalie Rausch , Office of the Registrar, at narausch@purdue.edu or by calling 4-8219.
