Abstract:
This guide is a source of information on a wide range of issues involving student records and transcripts. It focuses on the necessity of reconciling the need to provide accurate information promptly to various constituencies and the need to safeguard privacy. Recommendations are provided for database and transcript elements, and current issues are addressed, including recording academic and disciplinary actions on transcripts, the use of Social Security numbers, name changes, transcription of nontraditional work, and requirements of the U.S. Patriot Act.

Abstract:
State education agencies are increasingly building the capacity to collect and manage sizable quantities of information about schools and districts and to match individual student records over time and across databases. An adequate statewide student data-collection system makes it easier for a state to meet legal reporting requirements such as those under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. An adequate statewide data collection system has nine key elements: (1) unique statewide student identifier; (2) student-level enrollment data; (3) student-level state test data; (4) information on untested students; (5) student-level course-completion data; (6) student-level Scholastic Assessment Test, ACT Assessment, and Advanced Placement test results; (7) student-level graduation and dropout data; (8) state data audit process; and (9) ability to match K-12 and higher education data.

Abstract:
This digest briefly reviews the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 (the Buckley Amendment), which sets out legal guidelines regarding the privacy of student records and the provisions of the U.S. Patriot Act, along with the measures some colleges are implementing to comply with these laws and improve the security of electronic student records. FERPA established specific rights to parents to inspect, review, and sometimes correct their children's records, and these rights transfer to students when they turn 18. The U.S. Patriot Act requires that educational institutions comply with the law that requires the monitoring of foreign students and the disclosure of student records to track suspected terrorists. The Act allows the U.S. Attorney General to access student records and collect the information on foreign students that is maintained under the Student Exchange and Visitor Information System (SEVIS). The law exempts SEVIS and student information from the disclosure requirements of FERPA. Colleges face many issues related to these laws. One is that of electronic security of student records, including the determination of the circumstances in which officials have the right to view student e-mails or other electronic files. Related to these problems are those caused by the widespread use of student social security numbers as identification numbers. The complexities of the digital age and the new laws designed to protect national security have changed the way educational institutions provide access to, monitor, and safeguard student records. Active debate continues as educational institutions try to accommodate and balance the conflicting pressures of privacy concerns versus legal directives. (Contains 11 references.) (SLD)
