Special “DON’TS” for Faculty and Support Staff
A list of recommendations to avoid violations of FERPA rules.
To avoid violations of FERPA rules, DO NOT:
- at any time use a student’s Social Security Number (or any portion) in a public posting of grades
- ever link the name of a student with that student’s social security number or ID number in any public manner
- leave graded tests in a stack for students to pick up by allowing students to sort through the papers of all students
- circulate a printed class list with student name and social security number or grades as an attendance roster
- discuss the progress of any student with anyone other than the student (including parents) without the written consent of the student
- provide anyone with lists of students enrolled in your classes for any commercial purpose
