Privacy Policy
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
is a Federal law that protects the privacy of
student education records, both financial and
academic. For the student's protection, FERPA
limits release of student record information without
the student's explicit written consent; however
it also gives the student's parent(s)/guardian(s)
the right to review those records if the parent(s)/
guardian(s) claim the dependent on their Federal
Income Tax Return.
Included in your award packet is a FERPA
Certification and Release Statement. Use this
form to:
- Have your parents certify that you are dependent
according to Section 152 of the Internal Revenue
Code.
- Authorize us to release information about
your financial aid records to persons you designate.
When you call our office, you will be asked
for two of the three personal identifiers (student's
birth date, student's SSN, and student's Banner
ID number) before we can discuss your records.
Anyone who calls on your behalf will also be asked
to provide these identifiers so be sure to share
this information only with the person(s) you list
on the release form.
When you visit our office, you will be asked
to provide a photo ID to confirm your identity
before we can discuss your financial aid records
with you.
