All University members are responsible for complying with FERPA. As such, all new employees to the University are required to complete FERPA training upon onboarding, and existing University employees are required to complete annual FERPA training.
Annual FERPA training takes place online, is asynchronous, and will be coordinated with the assistance of Pitt IT.
Designated Records Custodians and School Officials may also be required to attend additional trainings on specific procedures, protocols, and best practices for handling of Education Records.
Questions about FERPA training requirements can be submitted to either the Office of the University Registrar (our@pitt.edu) or the Office of Compliance, Investigations, and Ethics (compliance@pitt.edu).
