FERPA notification must be delivered at least annually on a one-to-one basis and may be delivered by email.

• A. A Only at the start of enrollment
• B. B Annually on a one-to-one basis including email
• C. C Monthly, if desired by the student
• D. D Weekly during the academic year

Answer: (B)

FERPA requires that students be informed of their rights under the law at least once each year, and that the notice reach them on a one-to-one basis. The notice may be delivered by email, so including email as a valid delivery method fits this standard. This approach ensures every student is personally informed annually about their rights to access their records, consent to disclosures, and the handling of directory information. Delivering the notice only at enrollment wouldn’t meet the annual requirement, while monthly or weekly delivery is not required, and a non-personal or group notice wouldn’t satisfy the one-to-one delivery need.
