§99.11. May an educational agency or institution charge a fee for copies of education records?

Unless the imposition of a fee effectively prevents a parent or eligible student from exercising the right to inspect and review the student's education records, an educational agency or institution may charge a fee for a copy of an education record which is made for the parent or eligible student.

An educational agency or institution may not charge a fee to search for or to retrieve the education records of a student.
