Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Office of Disability Services works closely with your student to help them understand their rights as a student of the University of Tennessee. Some of those rights are covered by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99). Please be aware that the Office of Disability Services will be unable to discuss a specific student's circumstances or record with anyone (including parents or guardians) without that student's express permission.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause you and appreciate your understanding.

For more information, please contact the Office of Disability Services at (865) 974-6087.
