If the institutional has obtained the prior consent of the student, or in response to requests for directory information provided the student has not withheld release of his/her directory information.
FERPA rights cease upon death. 然而, it is the 政策 of Athens State University that no records of deceased students be released to third parties after the date of death unless specifically authorized by the executor of the deceased’s estate or by the next of kin.
