QuestionQ38

Foundational Principles

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), disclosure of personally identifiable information from a student’s education record requires written permission from the parent or eligible student for the information to be?

  • A Released to a prospective employer.
  • B Released to schools to which a student is transferring.
  • C Released to specific individuals for audit or evaluation purposes.
  • D Released in response to a judicial order or lawfully ordered subpoena.
Explanation

FERPA permits nonconsensual disclosures to schools where a student seeks or intends to enroll, to authorized representatives for qualifying audit or evaluation purposes, and to comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena. Disclosure to a prospective employer does not fall within those exceptions and therefore requires written consent.
