什么是FERPA?
The 1974年《家庭教育权利和隐私法 (FERPA), is the federal law that governs the rights of students and institutional responsibilities with respect to student records. All College employees must complete required FERPA training upon hire. 有关FERPA基础知识的复习，请浏览 1974年《家庭教育权利和隐私法 概述页面.
教职员工职责
If you have access to student data, you are responsible for its proper handling. 无论是什么形式或内容, you are accountable for handling student records in accordance with the law and College policy. FERPA requires that anyone accessing private student records have a "legitimate educational interest" for the information. 例子包括:
- Performing a task that is specified in the employee's position description or contract
- Performing a task related to a student’s education or to student discipline
- 维护校园安全
学生工作者 who perform institutional functions may be deemed "school officials" with a "legitimate educational interest" in accessing designated educational records of other students. The same requirements and responsibilities exist for student workers.
核实学生身份
当与学生面对面工作时, 通过在线视频会议, 在电话里, 或者通过电子邮件, you will likely need to access protected information from their record in order to assist the student. 在讨论记录内的任何信息之前, you will need to follow the institutional best practices found on the 登记 page on the CCC内部网 首先核实学生的身份.
发布记录信息的义务
An institution is not obligated to release directory information to anyone. FERPA only says that an institution MAY release information, but there is no obligation to do so. 记住，当你有疑问的时候，不要说出来.
学生的信件
所有威尼斯安卓版的学生, staff, and instructors are assigned a College managed email account to be utilized for purposes of official correspondence. Email that contains information that is part of a student's educational record should be sent from a College staff/faculty email account, 发到一个大学生的电子邮件账户.
旗帜/学位工作的保密指标
If you see “confidential” listed on a student’s record in Banner or Degree Works, it means the student has officially requested that no information from their record (including information designated as “directory”) should be released. 信息 about these students should never be released, and the student should be directed to 登记 and 注册服务 for follow-up. 有关此限制的详细信息，请导航到 1974年《家庭教育权利和隐私法 概述页面.
要求提供信息的家长
Student educational information is protected under FERPA and parents may not have access unless the student has provided written authorization that specifically identifies what information may be released to the parent(s). The presence of written authorization or a parent affidavit permits you to disclose student record information, but you are under no obligation to do so or to speak to parents. To verify if a written authorization to release information (or parent affidavit) is on file, 请联络注册及注册服务中心.
The STARI (Student Authorization to Release 信息) Form
If a student chooses to allow College officials to speak to a third party (e.g., parents, spouse), they will need to complete the STARI form. The form and instructions for submission can be found by navigating to the 财政援助表格 page. Successfully submitted STARI forms are noted on the student’s record in Banner and are imaged as part of the electronic file.
张贴成绩/交回作业
It is a violation of FERPA to publicly post grades by either the student's name, 学生身份证号码或社会安全号码. 留下个人身份, graded papers unattended for students to view is no different from posting grades in the hallway. If these papers contain "personally identifiable" information, then leaving them unattended for anyone to see is a violation of FERPA. If the graded papers can not be returned directly to the student, 考虑放弃评分的论文(考试), 小测验, and homework) with a departmental assistant who would ask students for proper identification prior to distributing them. Notification of grades may also be made via the use of a learning management system (Canvas), where students must provide their College-issued Comet ID and authenticate with a password prior to gaining access.
推荐信
Written permission of the student is required for a letter of recommendation if any information included in the recommendation is part of the "education record" (grades, GPA和其他非目录信息).
