The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

  • The Center's policy with regard to references complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. This law accords candidates the right of "access" (to view or have copies) to any references filed for them after January 1, 1975. It also provides for waiver of this right in order to have confidential references, if you so wish. (By law, all references written prior to January 1, 1975 are considered confidential.)
  • Users of the CAPE Reference File Service have the right to file official complaints of noncompliance to the Buckley Amendment with the Family Policy and Regulations Office, U.S. Department of Education.
