Adds new Article 10, Academic Records, to GS Chapter 115D, providing as follows. Requires community colleges to, to the extent allowed under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), make educational records for minor students automatically available to the parents, guardians, or an individual acting as a parent in the absence of a parent or a guardian of the student if: (1) the student is under age 18, (2) the student is a dependent student, and (3) the parent has not opted out of receiving the records. Requires each community college to require minor students whose educational records are subject to this provision to complete a form before registering for courses acknowledging that the parents, guardians, or an individual acting as a parent has access to their educational records. Applies beginning with the 2025-26 academic year.
