FERPA
Information about the Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) and how it applies to students, employees, parents, and others.
Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)
The United States Congress passed the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) in 1974 to afford certain rights to students concerning their education records. The primary rights afforded to students who attend a postsecondary school such as Brigham Young University-Idaho are the right to inspect and review their education records, the right to seek to have their records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of information from the records. Brigham Young University-Idaho may not disclose information contained in education records without the student's written consent except under certain limited conditions.
FERPA & BYU-Pathway Worldwide Registration
Consistent with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), BYU-Pathway Worldwide generally prohibits the release of student educational records without the express consent of the student.
A student who wishes to share their personal account information with a third party may do so through their student portal under My Profile > Privacy Settings > Consent > Add Person.
The BYU-Pathway Student Records Office maintains student records in accordance with FERPA. Learn more about FERPA and how it protects your educational privacy.
