Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records. The rights provided by this Act transfer from the parent to the son or daughter when the student reaches the age of 18 OR attends a postsecondary school — whichever comes first. Under this law, students have the following rights with regards to their educational records:
- The right to inspect and review their education records.
- The right to request an amendment to their education records when they believe the records are inaccurate or misleading.
- The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in their education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
- The right to file a complaint with the United States Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with FERPA.
While rights transfer from the parent to the son or daughter when the student reaches the age of 18 OR attends college, Virginia Law (Code of Virginia §23-9.2:3, amended July 2008), allows the parents of students who are defined as “dependent” under U.S. Tax Code access to certain records by providing evidence of tax dependency and making a specific written request.

Additional details regarding FERPA are accessible online at https://www.tcc.edu/about-tcc/statements-policies/ferpa/. Individuals with questions regarding FERPA may contact Nicole Wilson, of the TCC College Registrar’s Office, via email at nwwilson@tcc.edu. Information may also be obtained from any campus Enrollment Services Office or any dean for student services.

As permitted under FERPA, TCC will share your educational records with high school personnel and may address any questions or concerns with them regarding your performance.
