Join Us for NACUA’s First Online Course!
Starting November 16th and ending the week of December 14th.
The requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) can be confusing to even an experienced higher education attorney. When can you share information about a student, what information can be shared, and with whom can you share it?
NACUA member Nancy Tribbensee will lead NACUA’s first online educational course designed to give members an introduction to FERPA and how and when it applies to student records. NACUA member Steve McDonald, editor of The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act: A Legal Compendium will be participating in course discussions.
The course will cover the fundamentals of FERPA and will address a number of frequently asked questions about the statute, including:
- What is an education record? Who is a student? What does it mean to be "in attendance?"
- What are the rights of the parent, the student and the institution?
- What are the exceptions to FERPA? When does the Health and Safety Emergency Exception apply?
- What do you do if you have a FERPA violation on your campus?
This four-week course is a blend of self-study and instructor facilitated learning. Participants can access materials 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each weekly module features a narrated PowerPoint presentation (like a pre-recorded virtual seminar), self-assessments (participants can test their learning through games and quizes), and extensive resources. Students can interact with each other and their instructor on the class discussion board and on two instructor-led conference calls. The course is informative, interactive and convenient. REGISTER TODAY!
The course costs $299 per registrant and is limited to 50 participants.
