Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), personally identifiable information (PII) from a student's educational record generally requires written consent from the parent or eligible student to be released. While there are specific exceptions, such as releases to schools to which a student is transferring, for audit or evaluation purposes, or in response to a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena, releasing information to a prospective employer does not fall under these exceptions and therefore would require consent.
