This information is also provided to all students of Moody Bible Institute as required by federal law, in accordance with the Annual Notification Requirement.  Students have three primary rights under FERPA: 1) the right to inspect and review their education records; 2) the right to seek to amend education records; and 3) the right to have some control over the disclosure of information from their education records.
