Student Policies
FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
At the University of Washington, we require students to read and confirm that they have read the UW Annual FERPA Notice each quarter they register. You'll be asked to confirm you've read this notice at checkout.
