Definition of a student
By now we know that FERPA is designed to protect students and to grant them certain rights.
A student is: an individual who was, or is, currently enrolled for a previous, current, or future semester at NAU. If enrolled at NAU, the rights under FERPA are held by the student, regardless of age.
FERPA rights and procedures do not apply to:
- Applicants for admission, whether or not they are accepted, or
- Deceased individuals who did attend NAU at one time.
