Policy

In accordance with Session Law 2025-46, Â鶹ÊÓƵ will share the education records of minor dependent students with:

  • Their parent(s) or legal guardian(s), without the student’s consent, as long as the parent claims the student as a dependent on their federal tax return
  • High school counselors and administrators, if the student is dually enrolled in a K-12 institution and Â鶹ÊÓƵ.

This requirement builds on an existing exception in FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), but makes it mandatory for North Carolina community colleges.
