FERPA Q&A

Q: Are recordings of meetings “student education records” according to FERPA?

A: If a meeting recording, such as a Zoom recording, contains personally identifiable information about a student (i.e., student ID number, student name, or other information sufficient to identify a student) and the recording is maintained by the University, yes. Recordings stored and accessible via Zoom, on a University google, or other networked drive all are “maintained by the university.” Such records must be kept confidential, and are subject to students requesting to review the recordings as part of their educational records.
