Which of the following is NOT a condition under which FERPA allows disclosure without consent?

The correct choice is based on the understanding of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which outlines specific circumstances under which educational institutions may disclose student information without obtaining prior consent.

Disclosures to comply with a judicial order, for audit or evaluation purposes, and to appropriate officials during health emergencies are all clearly defined conditions under FERPA that allow for such actions. For instance, compliance with a judicial order ensures that schools adhere to legal requirements, while disclosures for audit or evaluation purposes facilitate accountability and assessment of educational programs. Similarly, releasing information to appropriate officials during health emergencies is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of students.

In contrast, using student information for marketing purposes does not fall under any of the recognized conditions for disclosure without consent according to FERPA. This type of disclosure is not considered necessary for educational operations and does not uphold the privacy rights of students established by the law. Therefore, using student data for marketing is explicitly outside the scope of FERPA's allowable disclosures without consent.
