Questions about FERPA and sharing access to my student records / One Stop

Problem

  • Where do I find more information about the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)?
  • Where do I find more information about sharing access to student records and accounts with authorized family members?

Rationale

  • The One Stop assists Miami students, authorized family members, alumni, and faculty/staff with billing and payment, enrollment, financial aid, registration, and student records

Resolution

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records, both financial and academic. FERPA limits release of student record information without the student’s written consent; however, it also gives the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) the right to review those records, without the student’s consent, if the parent(s)/ guardian(s) claim the student as a dependent on their Federal Income Tax Return. 

Authorized family members can access their student’s personal data at MiamiOH.edu/StudentInfo. For instructions on how to grant access, visit the One Stop’s Share Access to Personal Records page.
