Student Information Release (View)

This job aid provides instructions for viewing a Student Information Release. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (otherwise known as FERPA), sets forth requirements regarding the privacy of student records. FERPA governs the release of education records maintained by an institution and access to those records. Student record information generally may not be released without the expressed, written consent of the student.
