AACRAO’s “Foremost Expert” on FERPA Presents at the University of Colorado at Boulder

University_of_Colorado_at_Boulder

AACRAO consultant LeRoy Rooker led a one-day FERPA training session followed by a one-day FERPA audit at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

“The format was great – he covered the basics in the morning, and the afternoon consisted of the questions received from participants via the internet earlier. People really liked the ‘customized to fit my needs’ format. The FERPA audit was also very helpful. Matters such as data exchange and other ‘little concerns that keep you up at night’ were ironed out.

Thanks for the opportunity – it was really fortunate for me to have the chance to have the foremost expert here.”

Barbara Todd, Registrar
University of Colorado at Boulder
