Course Testimonials

I learned what I can say and cannot say from an instructor's position. It was very helpful!

I feel the course gave some great input on how important FERPA is on protecting our students privacy in our learning institutions.

The materials presented are comprehensive and have covered the essence of FERPA in every aspect. Through the quizzes I feel that more consolidation of learning has been done. I should say I have learned quite a lot from this course. Thanks a lot for your help.

This was an informative course containing the information needed to understand FERPA. The most valuable component for me was the application questions which require the participant to apply the information in a real world situation. In other words, the course requires one to fully comprehend the information in order to apply it, rather than just rote memorization. I encourage paying close attention to these application questions, in addition to stopping throughout the course to ask oneself how this information would apply to your organization. When completed, you have a better grasp and understanding of the guidelines, the mays and musts, as well as possible applications to your role.

I completely forgot that any information between a professor (faculty member) and one of our counselors (academic advisor) must be included in the student record when it is asked for.
