In accordance with the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, popularly known as the "Buckley
Amendment" and carrying the acronym "FERPA," Pacific
Lutheran University has adopted a policy to protect the privacy
of education records.
This act also establishes the rights of
parents and currently enrolled, eligible students to inspect and
review their education records; and provides guidelines for the
correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and
formal hearings.
Parents and currently enrolled, eligible students will be notified of their FERPA rights annually by publication in the Student Handbook. Interested parties may review the policy in the Office for Student Life, Hauge Administration Building, Room 105.
