- All UMBC employees with access to confidential student information – typically faculty and staff with access to advising records in PeopleSoft or the Report Exchange (REX) data warehouse – are required to annually acknowledge their obligations to protect student data under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). More Information.
- If you see the FERPA acknowledgement screen below, you have 45 days to accept or your access to these systems will be disabled.
FYI: UMBC's Division of Information Technology has licensed a brief (4 min, 32 sec) FERPA video tutorial from the SysAdmin, Audit, Network and Security (SANS) Institute , but access to the tutorial is granted upon request. To do so, please submit a Request Tracker (RT) ticket on the myUMBC Help menu or directly at my.umbc.edu/help.
