Tune in October 17 for a refresher on FERPA, the federal statute that governs the privacy of student records and information. In light of recent incidents, and with another school year now under way, it’s a good time to remind ourselves of our obligations—and rights—under this law. Steven J. McDonald, Rhode Island School of Design general counsel, and Nancy E. Tribbensee, Arizona University System general counsel will be the presenters for this this hour-long, free EDUCAUSE Live! Web seminar.

If you are unable to attend, you may wish to visit the EDUCAUSE Live! archives, where a recording of this seminar will be posted shortly afterward. You can also browse FERPA resources in EDUCAUSE Connect.
