FERPA Online Training from KnowBe4

Dear Colleagues:

Protecting our students’ privacy is a shared responsibility across every role on campus. Whether you are faculty, staff, or a student worker, understanding the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is essential to safeguarding student information and ensuring our institution remains in full compliance with federal law.

All employees have received an email with instructions on how to access the FERPA Fundamentals training module. This brief online training—approximately 16 minutes in length—provides clear, practical guidance on handling student records appropriately.

We strongly encourage all faculty and staff to complete the training as soon as possible.

Thank you for your attention to this important compliance initiative and for your ongoing commitment to protecting student privacy.

Dorothy M. Hughes
Assistant Vice President for Administration
