Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) compliance has always been challenging due to complex regulatory language and exposure to risk. However, institutions that do not comply are in jeopardy of losing federal funding. Accessible and user-friendly, FERPA Clear and Simple clarifies the regulations and provides a ready reference for compliance and problem solving. This need-to-have guide offers critical and relevant material (including the 2008 Amendments) from a new perspective to help staff in student affairs, academic departments, and administrative support positions understand and comply with FERPA guidelines.

1. SOUND CHECK:

If your speakers or headphones are on, click the triangular play button below. You should hear audio playing. If you do, you should be all set to hear the live webcast audio during the live event.

Troubleshooting:
If you do not hear the audio, please check that your headphones or speakers are connected properly, and that your computer volume is turned up. You may need to click the triangular play button to the right to re-start the audio (it will only play for about 90 seconds on this page). If you do not see the green audio control buttons above, you may not have the Flash Player installed. Click here to see if you have the Flash Player.
