An Overview for members of the Beloit College Community
FERPA is a complex law that relates to student educational records maintained by an institution. It is important that all Beloit College staff who have access to or manage educational records be informed about this law. Notification of FERPA rights is included in the biennial Beloit College Catalog, annual Student Handbook, and each term in the Schedule of Classes booklet.
FERPA (20 U.S.C 1232g and 34 CFR 99), also known as the Buckley Amendment, applies to all educational institutions and agencies that receive funds under any program administered by the U.S. Secretary of Education.
Please direct any questions regarding Beloit’s FERPA policy to the Registrar located in Pearsons Hall.
