Disclosure of Information from Student Records (FERPA)

UCLA maintains various types of Records pertaining to Students. Some are maintained for academic purposes; others, such as medical Records, are maintained for other specific purposes.

This policy applies only to Records directly related to students as Students, hereafter referred to as “Student Records” in this policy. The Disclosure of information from Student Records is governed by the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

This policy is not applicable to other Records that are maintained for purposes unrelated to a Student’s status as a Student. Specific categories of such Records are identified in Section IV (Student Records). The Disclosure of information from such Records is governed by the California Information Practices Act.

It is the purpose of this policy to provide reasonable interpretations of FERPA and to protect the Student’s right of privacy as guaranteed by the Constitution of the State of California and the Information Practices Act. When the law is silent, UCLA shall be guided by two principles:

1. The privacy of an individual is of great weight; and

2. The information in a Student’s file should be disclosed to the Student on request.

This policy incorporates the requirements set forth in the regulations implementing FERPA and all amendments thereto through January 8, 2009.

Although not strictly required under federal law, as a matter of University policy for the purposes of implementing the provisions of FERPA, the University of California generally views itself as eleven separate institutions, rather than as a single entity. Therefore, Personally Identifiable Information contained in Student Records maintained by UCLA may not be disclosed to the other campuses without the written consent of the Student, unless the Disclosure is consistent with the provisions of Section II.E. of this policy. Such information may be disclosed by UCLA to the Office of the President, as permitted by Section II.E. of this policy.
