Once a student reaches 18 years of age or attends a postsecondary institution, he or she becomes an “eligible student,” and all rights formerly given to parents under FERPA transfer to the student.
The term “education records” is defined as those records that contain information directly related to a student and which are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a party acting for the agency or institution.
There are a number of exceptions to FERPA’s prohibition against nonconsensual disclose of personally identifiable information from education record. One of the exceptions permits a school to disclose personally identifiable information from education records without consent when the disclose is to the parents of a “dependent student” as hat term is defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code.
According to USF Privacy Information for Parents or Guardians:
Unless personally identifiable information from a student’s education record falls under a specified exception, the information cannot be released to third parties (including parents) without signed and dated written consent from the student.

According to USF Privacy Information for Parents or Guardians, Iggy’s information cannot be released to third parties (including parents).
