Yes, FERPA permits parental disclosure of certain alcohol or controlled-substance violations by students under 21.
Federal law allows a college to inform a parent when an under-21 student violates a law or institutional rule governing alcohol or controlled substances. The exception permits UTampa to disclose; it does not require parent notification in every case.
