True

Explanation:

Once students are 18 years of age or once they enter a postsecondary institution irrespective of their age, FERPA rights are transferred from the parent to the students. However, even though FERPA rights are transferred from parents to students, schools can still provide education records to parents without the knowledge of the student if the student is a dependent as regards tax purposes.
