Ferpa at GSU

CORRECT.  When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student (“eligible student”).
 
General Rule You must assume that the student is an adult who is entitled to privacy, even from parents. Parents may assert their rights to the records if the student is dependant according to the tax code, however, permission would be determined by the School.
