JHU is committed to ensuring that employees who work with students or handle student data have the knowledge necessary to uphold their FERPA compliance obligations and are aware of students’ rights under the law.
FERPA Online Training
JHU offers a web-based FERPA training module, FERPA Online Training, that is available to all university employees via JHU’s MyLearning platform. The purpose of the training module is to ensure that everyone within the institution has the opportunity to better understand the FERPA regulations and the related responsibilities of school officials regarding proper use and maintenance of education records within their roles at Hopkins.

FERPA Training & University Systems Access
Please note that faculty and staff may be asked to complete the FERPA Online Training module prior to being granted access to university systems that provide access to student data. This request is typically made via the UIS Access Tools platform when an access request is submitted. The Office of the University Registrar (OUR) monitors FERPA Online Training completions through reporting tools within the MyLearning platform.
