Who has access to my college records at a State University?

Question

I am just wondering who as far as professors, administration, ect has access to my records/grades at a state university.

Answer 1

As a professor and academic advisor to both undergraduates and graduate students at my state university, I have access to the transcript of any student who has taken or is taking a class with me.

There are, of course, ethical guidelines as to when and why I may access these records. There is also the matter of legal confidentiality, which prohibits me from revealing the contents of any student's transcript to any other person (including a student's parents).

While levels of access might be different at your university, legal confidentiality always applies to a student's transcript.

Answer 2

No one can access your records without your written permission per FERPA which passed in 1974.

I have included the guidelines from FERPA's web site:
http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html

Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):

School officials with legitimate educational interest;

<< I don't know if academic advising is considered a legitimate educational interest >>

Other schools to which a student is transferring;
Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;
Accrediting organizations;
To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and
State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.
