FERPA Training Guide

Graduate committee chairs and co-chairs are encouraged to perform regular degree evaluations on their student advisees in order to:

1. verify student eligibility for funding (tuition waivers, assistantships, fellowships, etc.);
2. evaluate student progress to degree;
3. review the courses a student takes each semester and individual course grades;
4. verify completion of non-course degree requirements; and/or,
5. determine degree plan and cumulative GPA.

In order to be able to utilize the Graduate Committee Degree Evaluation tool in Howdy, faculty must complete a one-time FERPA training via TrainTraq (if not previously completed).
