In order to better safeguard Ball State student information, Information Technology and the Office of the Registrar are taking steps to increase security around student data and are updating the requirements for Ball State employees to gain access to it. Effective October 15, 2022, anyone requesting new access or changes to existing access to student data will be required to take the EduRisk FERPA training before putting in a security request.
You can find the FERPA training module—EduRisk – FERPA: Protecting Student Privacy—at bsu.edu/compliancetraining. You can also navigate to the “Additional Tools” section of myBSU and select “EduRisk Training.”
If you currently access student data, we strongly suggest you also take this newest FERPA training to be better informed about handling student data.
If you would like additional information or have questions about this requirement, you can contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@bsu.edu.
