The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of your student education records.

FERPA gives you the right to:

• Inspect and review your education record within a reasonable time after LCC receives a request for access. The college’s Notification of Student Rights Under FERPA includes the process for requesting and inspecting records.
• Request an amendment of your education record if you believe it is inaccurate or misleading. You can read the due process procedures for requesting a record amendment on the Student Appeal and Complaint page.
• Consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. Additional information about the disclosure of student information can be found on the Privacy of Student Records page.
• File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

LCC cannot discuss your student academic and/or personally identifiable information with your parents, guardians, spouse or any other third party without a release on file. You may submit a Release of Information (FERPA) request form directly to the Registrar's Office to authorize LCC to discuss selected information with your designee(s).

Release of your personally identifiable information, other than directory information, is prohibited without your written consent. More details about this and your rights under FERPA are available on the Privacy of Student Records page.
