The Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted on August 14, 2008, and reauthorizes the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). Colleges and universities are required to disclose information to students, parents and other consumers under the HEOA and the HEA.
(1) The Federal Education Right to Privacy Act or FERPA protects you, the student from disclosure of private information once you reach 18 years of age or attend a post-secondary institution.

Some are these are the right to have access to your education records, control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your records, and other similar rights.
