FERPA Compliance
Since our inception in 1993, the Clearinghouse has maintained the
confidentiality and privacy of more than 80 million student records in full
compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA is
a federal law that protects students' privacy rights in their education records.
The Department of Education (DOE) has found the Clearinghouse's services to
be FERPA compliant. You can read letters regarding our compliance from the DOE
Director of the Family Policy Compliance Office below:
