Question 16:

At the college level, parents:

  have the same rights of access and review as their child
  can only see their child’s records after receiving permission from the Dean of Students or designee
  may require tuition bills for their child sent directly to them from the institution
  may review their child’s grades if they can prove that the student is legally their dependent

 

Correct!

When a student begins attending a postsecondary institution, FERPA rights no longer automatically extend to the parents. This is the case regardless of the student's age. The Dean of Students (or designee) may not assign FERPA rights; only the owner of the records (the student) may give permission to the parents. Without the authorization of the student, parents do not have FERPA rights to review these records, unless student is a dependent as defined by the IRS Code.
