FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a Federal law that provides students with access to inspect and review their educational records and protects students' right to privacy by limiting access to that educational record. 

The Financial Aid Office will not release student information to parents unless there is a signed copy of the release of information form on file with Financial Aid.

Please note that each office has a different responsibility under FERPA, and each office has a different release form.
