FERPA Q&A

Q: A student has requested copies of emails between instructors and/or staff that includes their information. Do we have to provide that?

A: FERPA applies to all student education records as long as they are (1) identifiable to a particular student and (2) maintained by the university. University emails that discuss student(s) in an identifiable way meet this criteria. If a student made a request for ALL student records, emails about that student in umn.edu emails would be part of that request. It could also come up in the event of litigation.
