Friends, spouses, siblings and others may NOT receive non-directory information regardless of need without the specific and written authorization of the student. Examples include Department of Education, Veterans Administration, Social Security Administration, Office of Personnel Management, and Department of Defense. Release of information to a school official having a legitimate educational interest does NOT serve as permission to share that information with a third party without the student's written permission. All instances of release of information are documented in the student record. Educational institutions must disclose all records maintained on a student to the student upon request.
All records includes documentation of who, when, and why information was released to a third party.
A written request from the student is required by institutional policy. A student wishing to review the record may do so at the Records Office at May Owen Center. A student may obtain a copy of any document contained in the student record. A fee may be charged for duplication of documents. An unofficial academic record may be obtained at no charge from the campus Registrar's Office or at any EASI terminal.
