OVERVIEW
Student privacy is one of the most operationally complex areas of higher education law, and one of the most likely to create institutional risk when practitioners do not understand its boundaries. FERPA governs the maintenance and disclosure of student education records, but its exceptions, limitations, and intersections with HIPAA, state law, and campus safety create daily decision points that require informed judgment.

This webinar provides practical working knowledge of FERPA, including what it covers, what it does not cover, and when disclosure is permitted without student consent. The session also addresses parent calls, law enforcement requests, subpoenas, treatment records, threat assessment, and search-and-seizure issues in campus spaces.

BRIEF OUTLINE

1. FERPA basics: education records, rights, and directory information
2. Disclosure without consent and the health or safety emergency exception
3. Parental notification, subpoenas, and law enforcement requests
4. Treatment records, education records, law enforcement records, and HIPAA intersections
5. Fourth Amendment considerations in residence halls and campus spaces
6. Information sharing in threat assessment and behavioral intervention contexts

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Identify what constitutes an education record under FERPA and who holds rights to that record.
• Apply key FERPA exceptions, including the health or safety emergency exception.
• Distinguish between education records, treatment records, and law enforcement records.
• Respond appropriately to parent, subpoena, and law enforcement information requests.
• Recognize common privacy and information-sharing errors in student affairs practice.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

• Residential life professionals, dean of students staff, student conduct administrators, behavioral intervention and threat assessment team members, registrar staff, academic advisors, campus law enforcement and security personnel, and any student affairs professional who regularly receives, shares, or acts on student information. This session is particularly valuable for professionals who serve on BIT or TAT teams and who must make rapid decisions about information sharing.
