《家庭教育权利和隐私法》（巴克利修正案）禁止在未经学生同意的情况下发布学生记录中包含的“个人身份”信息。 “个人身份”是指数据包括学生的姓名和/或地址，或个人标识符，如学生的社会安全号码或学生号码。
If students wish to be informed of their grades before they are available in NEST, they should supply the appropriate instructor with a stamped postcard or a self-addressed letter and stamped envelope, with a request to mail their grades.
