FERPA Q&A: Amending an educational record

Question: Can a student request to have information removed from or amended in his or her educational record?

Answer: Yes, under FERPA, students may request that inaccurate or misleading information be removed from or amended in their educational record. The amendment procedure, however, may only be used to challenge facts that are inaccurately recorded, not to challenge a grade, an opinion, or a substantive decision made by an institution about a student. University policy requires the student to identify the record in question and provide a written statement explaining why the amendment should be made.
