Under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), there are certain parts of a student’s academic record that cannot be released to others. There are instances when students may choose to allow individuals (parents, guardians, relatives, etc.) access to those records. In order for any college faculty member or administrator to share information with specific individuals, a “FERPA Disclosure Form” must be on file. The form is located here. Once it is signed and submitted, the information is located on the “Notes” section of the DegreeWorks audit and available for viewing by the student as well as faculty and staff at Buffalo State. The “Notes” tab is located just below the student name.
You may find it beneficial to review Buffalo State’s FERPA policy (PDF) and Directory Information policy prior to filling out this form.
