Does FERPA still apply if my Menlo College student is only 17?
DIRECT ANSWER
Yes. Once a student attends a postsecondary institution, FERPA rights belong to the student even if the student is under 18.
Menlo's Registrar states that FERPA rights transfer when a student begins postsecondary education or reaches age 18, whichever comes first. A 17-year-old attending Menlo therefore controls their FERPA education-record rights.
