About FERPA and the Confidentiality of Student Records

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) protects the privacy of student records. At BYU-Pathway Worldwide, we take additional measures beyond the standard FERPA policy to ensure the safety and confidentiality of your education records.
