Accessing School Records

FERPA is a federal law that protects students. At the post-secondary level, a student's parents or legal guardian have no inherent rights to inspect their education records; this right is limited specifically to the student. This applies to all high school students who are enrolled in EICC courses.

“As we left the campus visit, we talked about how homey and comfortable the campus felt, and how nice everyone was,” she said. “Then, at the same time, we all said, ‘This is the one.’ It all came together.”
