Under FERPA, only a student may request his or her transcript and must do so in writing to the 注册处.

Specific questions regarding your student's progress should be directed to their advisor.

什么是FERPA?

In 1974, Congress passed the Family Education Rights and 隐私 Act (FERPA). This law specifies that higher education institutions may not disclose any information about a student who is a legal adult (usually 18 or older) without that student’s express written permission. This means that we are obligated to be careful about what we say or send to anyone—even parents—without a student’s express permission. Students are offered the opportunity to sign FERPA releases upon entry. 的se remain in effect until the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs receives a written revocation.

If your student is a dependent for tax purposes, we may disclose information to you. In order to certify this, you will need to complete the top portion of the Authorization to Release Student Account and Education Information Form. With your student’s signature, this form is all we need. Without it, we must have a copy of the first page of the most recent year’s federal tax return. Please black out any sensitive information, such as social security numbers or income amounts.
