Educational Records: While FERPA allows schools to disclose student education records without consent in certain situations, generally, schools must have written permission from a student to release any information from a student's education record to any party not meeting a stated exception (contact the Office of the Registrar for more information). Parents, spouses, other students, even staff and faculty who do not have a legitimate educational interest should not access the student’s information. It is the responsibility of all University Of North Alabama employees who have access to student information to safeguard that information.
