Individual Level Data

Category: Data Protection FAQs

My data request is covered by FERPA’s standards. Can I have access to individual level data?

If the IR Office agrees that the data request for individual level data is considered appropriate given FERPA regulations, it is usually necessary for the data requestor to provide student identifiers (e.g. Banner ID numbers) to facilitate the IR office accessing individual level data.  Failure to provide an identifier increases the complexity of the data request, imposes a significant resource burden on the IR office to access and clean the data, and lengthens the turnaround to respond to a data request.
