Explanation
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA generally requires that schools obtain written consent from students (or their parents if the student is a minor) before disclosing personally identifiable information from education records. However, FERPA allows specific exceptions where disclosures can be made without consent. One of these exceptions is when a school discloses education records to another school where the student seeks or intends to enroll. This allows educational institutions to share information for legitimate educational purposes, such as transferring transcripts between schools when a student moves or applies for enrollment elsewhere.
