Question 19:

Upon receiving a subpoena for a student’s education records, you must:

  notify the student in all cases that you have received the subpoena
  contact the Office of Legal Affairs for advisement before disclosing any student information
  notify the server of the subpoena that you will comply within ten working days
  notify the student’s parents that you have received it

 

Correct!

Contact the Office of Legal Affairs for advisement before disclosing any student information. FERPA doesn't make it mandatory that SMU automatically comply with a lawfully issued subpoena. SMU will first determine if the subpoena has any jurisdiction over the institution before complying.
