FERPA General

1. How does a parent obtain information about a son’s/daughter’s academic or financial records?

There are three actions that can be taken to obtain the student’s records.

Arrange with the student to share the PIN (personal identification number) to access information via Webopus.

Have the student sign a FERPA Release. This will allow those listed on the FERPA Release to obtain information by contacting various offices on campus. NOTE: A signed request from individuals listed on the FERPA release is required prior to issuance of transcripts.

The parent may provide, on an annual basis, a copy of his/her Federal Income Tax Returns showing the student is claimed as a dependent.
