Student Records (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a U.S. federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records. FERPA affords parents and students over eighteen (18) years of age (eligible students) certain rights. They are:

  • The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within forty-five (45) dates from the day the school administrator receives a written request for access.
  • The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Parents/guardians should write to the school administrator, clearly identifying the part of the record they want changed, and specifying why it is inaccurate or misleading.
  • The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to the school officials with legitimate educational interests to review educational records in order to fulfill professional responsibility.
  • Visit the FERPA website to read the full FERPA annual notification of rights and additional options.
Section 508 Compliance

Global Academy @ ASU Prep strives to ensure our website information and courses are available to all, regardless of abilities. In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act as amended, 29 U.S.C. Section 794d, requires that Federal agencies› electronic and information technology is accessible to people with disabilities.

Global Academy @ ASU Prep courses are 508 compliant and conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level A and AA. Client-side supports allow for the additional personalization of accessibility supports based on the individual’s tools and experience with access.

ASU Preparatory Academy continues to be committed to making their courses and content available to persons with various accessibility needs.
