A student's education records and applicant records held by a public postsecondary educational institution are confidential and exempt from public disclosure. Applicant records are records directly related to an applicant for admission who has not been in attendance at the institution and maintained by the institution or by a party acting on its behalf.

A public postsecondary educational institution may not release a student's education records without the written consent of the student to any individual, agency or organization, except in accordance with and as permitted by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Education records released to the Auditor General or the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability must be used and maintained by them in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Chapter 2014-11, Laws of Florida, saved the public records exemption from repeal and took effect .
