All faculty, staff and students, including temporary employees, student assistants and consultants, must comply with state and federal laws and University policies regarding the access to, and use of, student education records, whether these records are printed or electronic. Maintaining the confidentiality of student education records is everyone's responsibility.
Only those individuals who have been authorized as having a legitimate reason to access student education records can do so. Access to student education records is strictly limited to the specific information and data that is relevant and necessary for those authorized individuals to perform their job-related duties.
Review all the information on this site, presented in the form of a tutorial, to become familiar with the rules governing the handling and release of student education records.
For employees, after completing the tutorial and test, save the Certificate of Completion as PDF and send it to your supervisor who will file it in your official personnel file.
For student assistants, after completing the tutorial and test, save the Certificate of Completion as PDF and send it to your supervisor who will file it in your student personnel file.
For vendors/consultants, after completing the tutorial, save the Certificate of Completion as PDF and send it to your campus sponsor to be included with your contract documents.
A FERPA Certificate of Completion must be renewed every two years. If an applicant does not have a certificate or if the certificate has expired, the request for access to students’ records, or any other administrative system, will not be processed until a new certificate is issued.
Access to grading and class rosters is granted to faculty when the department assigns a course to faculty.
Everyone who has a CSUDH ID account is required to complete a FERPA training. Depending on who you are, you will access FERPA training differently.
For CSUDH faculty, student assistants, and staff, you will complete the FERPA training through CSU Learn. To access CSU Learn, log on to the My CSUDH Portal at MY CSUDH and click on the CSU Learn link under the Quick Launch menu on the left. In CSU Learn, click on Assigned Learning, then click on Data Security and FERPA to begin your training.
Note: For newly hired employees, your CSU Learn account will be created by the Chancellor's Office based on your employment activation date. It will take approximately three days after your start date before you receive an email message from CSU Learn that the Data Security and FERPA training has been assigned to you. If you take the Department of Education's FERPA 101 for Colleges and Universities prior to your employment start date, you are still required to take the Data Security and FERPA training since the CSU Learn training is focused primarily on Data Security with only a small portion focused on the FERPA topic.
For individuals who are not employees (e.g., third-party vendors) or volunteers processed through Human Resources Management, you will complete the FERPA 101 for Colleges and Universities training available on the Department of Education website: FERPA 101: For Colleges & Universities. Once you have completed the training, email your certificate of completion to your CSUDH contact or the contracting department contact at CSUDH.
For questions with problems related to FERPA, My.CSUDH.edu ID account, or CSU Learn, contact the IT Help Desk at 310-243-2500 or Open IT ticket.
