Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
FERPA grants Pratt Munson students specific rights regarding their educational records:
Right to Review Records: Students can review their educational records within 45 days of submitting a written request to the Registrar, Dean, department head, or appropriate official. The student will be informed when and where to view the records.
Right to Request Changes: If a student believes their record is inaccurate, they can request a correction by writing to the relevant Pratt Munson official. If the request is denied, the student has the right to a hearing.
Right to Control Disclosure: Students can control who sees their records. However, Pratt Munson can share information with school officials who need it for legitimate educational reasons or release “directory information” without consent. Directory information includes basic details like name, contact info, major, and attendance dates.
