Managing Workday Privacy Settings and Third Party Access

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), also known as the Buckley Amendment, is a federal law regarding the privacy of student education records. Under FERPA, a school may not generally disclose personally identifiable information from a student’s education record to a third party unless the student has provided written consent. However, there are a number exceptions. One exception is to the release of information that has been appropriately designated as directory information.
