Hi everyone;
I’m thinking this question has come up before so I apologize if it has been a recent conversation.
As distance education is continuing to build and a college may have a student who never sets foot on the physical campus, I’m curious how other are handling the “signature required” portion of the FERPA releases in relation to off campus students? If they are unable to come to campus to sign the release, do you have any steps you use to verify that it is actually the person requesting the release?
Just curious of everyone’s approaches.
