What this law does
Florida International University may not release or permit access to a student's education records, or the personally identifiable information in them, except as permitted by law and its regulation. Education records include records maintained by the university's agents, and every agreement designating an agent with access to education records must be reviewed by the University Registrar.
A student must be granted access to the student's education records within a reasonable period and no later than 45 calendar days after a written request, and the university must maintain records of the individuals requesting access. The university may not condition admission, financial aid or any other service or benefit on a waiver of the right of access.
Requests for academic research or contracts dealing with information from education records are referred to the University Registrar, and access may be conditioned on a guarantee that the researcher or agent will appropriately safeguard the data.
The regulation rests on Article IX, section 7 of the State Constitution, and section 1001.706 of the Florida Statutes recognizes the authority of the Board of Governors to adopt a regulation development procedure for university boards of trustees to use in implementing their constitutional duties.
