美高梅官网

美高梅官网鈥檚 record release policies are governed by federal government regulations collectively known as the 鈥淔amily Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended鈥� (FERPA) and by State of Ohio law.

美高梅官网 cannot waive FERPA or State regulations for any reason.

Under FERPA, Record Privacy rights transfer from the parents to the student once the student reaches 18 years of age or once they enroll in an institution of higher learning. In either scenario, FERPA then regards the parents as third parties.

Record release to all third parties requires the student鈥檚 prior written and signed consent. Parents may obtain student end-of-term grades and GPA information, only if:

• The student grants the parent permission via (the University's preferred method of obtaining permission);
• They can provide the Registrar鈥檚 Office with a copy of their most recently submitted federal tax return documents establishing the student as their financial dependent (family income amounts may be obscured); or
• The student provides the Registrar鈥檚 Office with their written, signed and dated consent (the student can rescind this authorization in writing at any time).

Record release to parents (and to all third parties) occurs at the University鈥檚 discretion, even if the parents provide the qualifying tax return or the student鈥檚 written consent. The University reserves the right to deny requests for any and all student information to all third parties, including parents.

美高梅官网 may provide properly authorized parents seeking grade information with end-of-term grades and grade point averages only. 美高梅官网 will not release attendance records, assignment scores, or test scores.

The student鈥檚 written consent or the parents鈥� tax return may allow record release only. These documents do not constitute Power of Attorney, so these do not authorize the parents to take action in the student鈥檚 name or on the student's behalf.

All third鈥損arty requests to 美高梅官网 for student records must be submitted in writing directly to the Registrar鈥檚 Office. In all cases, third parties (including parents) attempting contact administrative offices, college offices, or the faculty will be referred to the Registrar鈥檚 Office.

The Registrar's Office will assess both the parent's written request and the submitted authorizing documents and will provide a response. The Registrar's Office will contact other administrative and/or college offices for the information, as required. Parents should not expect a same day response from the Registrar's office to their information requests.

美高梅官网 does not provide regular or automatic per-term information releases (e.g., final grades) to any third party (including parents). Parents authorized for release by either the student鈥檚 written consent or by their own tax return must submit a written request to the Registrar鈥檚 Office on each occasion.

FERPA permits 美高梅官网 to release the student鈥檚 Directory Information to anyone upon request without the student鈥檚 prior consent or notification. Directory Information at 美高梅官网 includes: name, student identifier (non-Social Security Number), current mailing address, current telephone number, email address, college, class, major, dates of attendance, enrollment status (full/ part-time), and degrees/honors/awards received (including dates received).

Students may request that 美高梅官网 not release their Directory Information by updating their preferences in Catalyst.
