New Training Modules Available
Training modules for FERPA and Social Security Numbers are now available on the UF Privacy Home website.
Red Flag Training - This training has been produced to explain the federal rules intended to prevent Identity Theft, and to assist you in developing unit-specific procedures that will comply with the Identity Theft Prevention Program approved by the Board of Trustees.
FERPA Basics - The Family Education Records and Privacy Act is complicated by itself; add Florida Statutes and UF Regulations and Policies related to academic information, and it's easy to see why mistakes may be made. If you handle student information, this training module is for you.
Protecting Social Security Numbers - The Social Security Number is no longer authorized for use in any university information system, business form, process, or records collection, with a few limited exceptions permitted by specific state and federal laws. Find out what the exceptions are and how this change in the law may affect you.
