How We Use Student Data
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County has developed a national reputation for collecting and analyzing student data to help improve the educational effectiveness of our programs and services and to support individual students with available academic resources. We’ve also worked with other institutions to develop best practices in transparency about use of student data.
The data UMBC collects is protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which allows institutions to analyze student data while also protecting its privacy. For more information, please see https://ogc.umbc.edu/ferpa-rights-notification.
