It is inadvisable to put student work in a general space for collection. Student grades on individual assignments or courses are protected and can be disclosed only by the student. Some faculty are accustomed to placing student work in an envelope or box for students to retrieve. If this means that one student could have access to another student's grades, the practice should be revised. Departments should work with faculty teaching large enrolled classes to accommodate the need to distribute work efficiently and the absolute need to comply with FERPA.
