We engage directly with our students to guarantee they receive the necessary specialized support for navigating the study abroad process. Legal requirements protect the privacy of student education records (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (commonly referred to as FERPA) ” (U.S. Department of Education). Illinois has developed guidelines Section X-6 of the Campus Administrative Manual and the Illinois Student Code to implement these laws. Consequently, we cannot share your student’s records with anyone, including parents or guardians, without the student’s prior written consent. Therefore, we advise you to discuss any questions or concerns directly with your student.
