As a student enters college, the laws and regulations change from the K-12 years - and it's a big adjustment for students and parents. But how do you explain the different privacy and records laws, while ensuring parents you value their involvement? Written by highly respected FERPA authority Cliff Ramirez, The FERPA Transition: Helping Parents Adjust to Higher Education Records Laws looks at student records on two levels - how to comply with records laws as well as how to forge positive relationships among the institution, students and their parents. This one-of-a-kind resource explores your requirements under FERPA along with the other student-records laws you need to know: the Foley Amendment, Warren Amendment, Clery Act, Solomon Amendment and USA Patriot Act. Then, you get practical recommendations for handling specific situations involving admissions records, access restrictions, psychological records, attendance, grades, letters of recommendation, discipline, implied consent, health and safety emergencies, unintentional disclosure and many others.
