Your Academic Records (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of your student education records. Under FERPA, you have the right to inspect and review your records, request to amend inaccurate records, and consent to the disclosure of your personally identifiable information.

KSU will not disclose your records without your written permission, except in specific circumstances permitted by law, such as to school officials with a legitimate educational interest or in a health and safety emergency.

KSU designates certain "Directory Information" (e.g., your name, major, dates of attendance, email address) which can be released without your consent. You have the right to restrict the release of your directory information by submitting a formal request to the Office of the Registrar. Be aware that doing so means the University cannot confirm your enrollment to potential employers or include your name in publications like the commencement program.

For a complete understanding of your rights and the specific procedures for accessing, amending, or restricting your records, please refer to the official FERPA Policy on the KSU website.
