In partnership with the Office of Data Management & Analytics Services, the Office of the Registrar is currently developing a training module on FERPA and student privacy rights. This is part of the larger data-governance program being implemented on campus. When finalized, all individuals with access to restricted student data will be required to successfully complete the FERPA training module as well as the general restricted-data training. Periodic refresher training will be required as well.
In addition, the Office of the Registrar can provide tailored, in-person FERPA training sessions for schools, colleges, departments, and other groups interested in learning more about student privacy rights and responsibilities. We also provide advice and one-on-one consultation sessions to help faculty and staff become better educated about FERPA.
To ask a FERPA question or inquire about a training session, please contact Reporting Services in the Office of the Registrar at data@registrar.wisc.edu.
