The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (also known as FERPA) is a federal law that affords students at institutions of higher education the right to have access to their education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records.
Does a student have the right to inspect and review records maintained by the 成人快播 that directly relate to him or her?
Yes, subject to certain narrow exceptions, each student has the right to inspect and review all of his or her education records.
- Generally, a student who would like to inspect or review his or her education records is able to do so by making an informal request directly to the Univeristy office or official who maintains the records.
- A student who would like to make a request pursuant to his or her rights under FERPA to inspect or review his or her education records should do so through the or by directly contacting the 成人快播's Compliance Officer.

- The 成人快播 is not required to permit a student to inspect and review records such as the student's parents' financial records, certain letters of recommendation, or law enforcement records. But the general rule is that the student is permitted to inspect and review all records that meet the general definition.
