This policy explains how students may exercise these rights and how Aspen complies with FERPA. This policy does not modify students’ rights under FERPA and creates no contractual or any other stand-alone obligation to students. If there is a conflict between Aspen’s rights or obligations under this Policy and FERPA, FERPA controls. All faculty are required to complete training on FERPA regulations annually. Failure to do so will result in a cessation of course assignments until faculty are in compliance with this policy. For further details on FERPA policy, please click here.
