NACUA January 2009 Virtual Seminar
Presented in cooperation with the American Council on Education and EDUCAUSE
Thursday, January 29, 2009 • 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm ET/ 9:00 am - 11:00 am PT
On December 9 the Department of Education released long-awaited revisions and updates to its regulations implementing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the federal statute governing access to and disclosure of student education records. The new regulations, effective January 9, 2009, make significant changes that necessitate review by institutions of their own student information policies and procedures.
This program will review the most important new provisions and requirements in the regulations including those relating to:
- Disclosure of Student Information in Campus Health and Safety Emergencies
- Disclosure of Student Information to Contractors, including Institutional and Contractor Responsibilities
- Information Technology Issues
- Access by Institutional Officials to Education Records
- Alumni Records, Disclosures to Other Institutions and to State Educational Agencies and Research Organizations
- Departmental Enforcement of FERPA
Required or recommended changes to institutional policies and practices will be highlighted throughout the program. Please join NACUA members Steve McDonald, Rhode Island School of Design; Margaret (Peg) O'Donnell, The Catholic University; Jonathan Alger, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; and Rodney Petersen, EDUCAUSE; for this program explaining the new regulations and the new compliance obligations (or opportunities to maximize institutional options and flexibility in FERPA compliance) they represent. The program includes two Question and Answer sessions, and registrants will also have the opportunity to pose questions before and after the program.
