Final answer:
A student may request to amend their records under FERPA to correct inaccuracies, not for subjective changes or erasing documented events. Option a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a student may request to amend their records for specific reasons. These include correcting inaccuracies option a, that may exist within the record, such as mistakes in personal information or errors in grades posted. A request to amend records can not be made for subjective reasons, like adding personal opinions, or for altering the historical record, such as erasing disciplinary actions or removing faculty comments. FERPA allows for the amendment of records to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the educational record, but does not support revisions based on personal disagreements with the content or to erase past events that have been documented as part of the educational history.
