Ask your student give you a FERPA Pin & make you an Authorized Payer

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) forbids the university from releasing personal identifiable student educational records or files, or personal information contained in those files, without the student's written consent, except in specified situations.

In order for ANY student information to be released to a designated third party, the student's uNID must be provided along with the student created PIN code. It is the student's responsibility to give that required information to the designated third party. A third party that is not correctly identified and verified, will be denied. Students may update the PIN code and list of third parties at any time.
