Student education records (FERPA)
Once you enroll, your education records are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Enrolled students have the right to inspect and review their education records, request corrections, and control the disclosure of personally identifiable information, except where FERPA allows disclosure without consent. MILA College may disclose directory information unless you opt out in writing. Our annual FERPA notice, available from the Registrar, describes these rights in detail.
