Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law (20 U.S.C. 1232g) that protects the privacy of a student's education records. A student is someone that has been accepted, matriculated, and enrolled (or a former student of) Elizabethtown College. An "eligible student" under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older, or who attends a post secondary institution.
