Can students access education records if they have dropped out?

Under FERPA, students maintain the right to access their education records even if they have dropped out. This access is not limited to those who are currently enrolled, which means that individuals who have previously attended an institution still have the same rights to review their records as active students. The intent of FERPA is to ensure that students can review and request amendments to their education records regardless of their enrollment status. This is crucial for students to understand their educational history and to manage any discrepancies in their records effectively.

The other choices do not accurately represent the rights that FERPA grants to students regarding access to their records once they have left the institution.
