FERPA: Privacy of Student Records
The Department of Mathematics is firmly committed to protecting the privacy of student information and grades.
It is essential that all instructional staff are aware of the federal law on the privacy of student records,Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA),
and are in thorough compliance with that law. If any instructor is unsure of what information s/he can share and with whom the information can be shared, s/he should
err on the side of caution and ask an instructional vice chair or the departmental TA support staff for advice and clarification before transmitting any student information.
The University's interpretation of FERPA can be found on the main page of the University Registrar's website. In addition, the Office of Academic Affairs provides additional guidance for FERPA.
