FERPA Compliance

Educational institutions must take steps to ensure that the companies that they work with will help comply with FERPA. FERPA requires that reasonable measures be taken to ensure the security of personally identifiable information (PII) from student academic records. PII may only be shared with a student's instructor or other school officials (the school is responsible for responding to parent requests for information). Schools and educators are allowed to divulge 'directory information', such as name and email address, unless a student has asked to opt-out of directory information disclosure, which means that in most cases instructors may submit student email addresses when adding students to a course.

SageMath, Inc. will make every effort to comply with FERPA disclosures policies. If you represent an academic institution and require access to a student's PII under FERPA, please contact [email protected].
