Accounts

Registration

Registration is required to use Study.Net as a User. It ensures that each user will see the resources that address their particular needs. Registered Users must affiliate with a school or business organization. Registration requires a User’s name, a valid email address, password, and their school/organization affiliation.

You agree to provide and maintain all information required by Study.Net for registration and, in the event any information is not true, accurate, or complete, you agree that Study.Net has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all use of our Services.

Entity Accounts

Roles

Study.Net recognizes three (3) types of User, each with different privileges (“Role”):

During registration, or later, any User may request the role of INSTRUCTOR. The Instructor role is granted to educators who work at a school or organization in a verified, official capacity.

The third Study.Net role of COORDINATOR is assigned to users responsible for the administration and use of Study.Net at a specific school or organization.

FERPA Policy

This statement outlines Study.Net Corporation’s (“Study.Net”) compliance to the Federal Educational Rights Protection Act of 1974 (FERPA).

What is FERPA?

FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 or the Buckley Amendment, is a federal law that affords students certain rights with respect to their education records.

What is an Education Record?

An education record contains information directly related to a student, maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a party acting for the agency or institution.

Combinations of student names, email logins, and shipping address information would be considered an academic record.

Study.Net acts as a third-party service providing access to selected course materials and must maintain compliance with FERPA on behalf of the institution.

Why is FERPA important?

FERPA protects students from having their information disseminated to third parties without the student's consent. By utilizing a third party, an institution extends their liability to adhere to FERPA to the third party. Beyond ethics and privacy, an institution's Title IV funding is tied to compliance with this act.

How does Study.Net work?

Students use Study.Net to purchase or otherwise access academic content assembled for use by a course instructor or school coordinator (a “Content Bundle”). To register as a Study.Net user, students provide an email login, password (encrypted), and school affiliation. No additional information is required. From a list of available Content Bundles, students may be required to purchase access to their selected Bundles via an e-commerce transaction. All purchases are processed with FERPA–compliant encryption by a third-party processor. At no time does Study.Net receive, transmit, or save a user’s financial information to facilitate a purchase transaction. Student users control public visibility (and storage) of their Directory Information.

How does Study.Net comply with FERPA?

Study.Net saves only Directory Information (i.e. name, email login and a shipping address for the optional delivery of printed materials) related to a student user. No other unencrypted user information is saved by Study.Net. All user passwords are encrypted by the Study.Net Service. Purchase information is not saved or otherwise stored by Study.Net after completion of a purchase transaction, which is processed by a third-party, data-encrypted, e-commerce provider. Study.Net employs a zero-knowledge encryption scheme to protect user passwords.

Student users control public access to all Directory Information. Furthermore, student users may request that all of their user information be permanently deleted at any time.

Only approved school coordinators (i.e. administrators), the course instructor, and fellow students may see a student user’s name in association with a particular bundle of course materials. The student user controls visibility of all other Directory Information. Furthermore, a student user may permanently delete their Directory Information at any time.

Study.Net will never hold any personally identifiable information (PII) and institutions can feel confident in extending their FERPA liability to Study.Net.

Study.Net delivers all content via SSL (TLS 1.2) and our servers are compliant to many standards including PCI and HIPAA.

Note: Study.Net is committed to keeping all student data safe.

When going through technical support channels, our representatives will never ask for information beyond what FERPA defines as "Directory Information". Our representatives may ask for the following information:

  • Student name
  • E-mail login
  • School or organization name

Despite not collecting any personally identifiable information, all Study.Net representatives and employees are subject to FERPA updates and training. Any personal information requests beyond this should be reported to ferpa@study.net.
