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. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students." Please read and familiarize yourself with the information on the U.S. Department of Education's website. This link opens in a new window.

1.  Get help.

   • Call out “help'' to alert others to come to your aid. Yell loudly. You need to be loud enough that other people can hear you.
