Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Non-Disclosure Agreement |

The
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a
federal law enacted in 1974 that guarantees the
confidentiality of a student record. As a student of
Hostos Community College, it is important for you to
familiarize with some of the basic provisions of FERPA
to ensure that you do not violate this federal law.
-
You must not, under any circumstances, release to
any person(s) information about a student, unless your
position specifically requires you to do so. You must
refer any requests for information about a student to
your supervisor to ensure that you do not violate FERPA.
-
You should avoid acquiring student records
information that you do not need doing your job, nor
should you exchange information about students that
you may have learned while performing your job. Even a
minor disclosure of information (e.g., telling another
student of someone's class schedule or grades) may be a
violation, and would result in penalties including the
loss of your job. Keep any information obtained in the
workplace.
I
have read and understand my responsibilities as stated
under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
