Frequently Asked Questions
Question
Why is FERPA useful and necessary?
Answer
FERPA gives students rights over their education records, including:
- The right to view your records
- The right to request corrections if you believe something is wrong
The right to control who sees your records
The only exception is for “Directory Information,” which may be shared without written consent—but even this is limited at Woodland Community College.
