What You Need to Know About Accessing

Your Student's College Records

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is meant to protect your student's college records. This means that as the parent, you cannot get information from the school about your student without a completed form.

 

Read this story HERE about a parent who struggled to help their child because the school would not release the student's information to her.

 

Privacy laws make it difficult to help your adult children in an emergency. Get a Young Adult Power of Attorney with Mama Bear Legal FormsThey'll help you create your documents in 20 minutes. Save 20% by entering promo code Road2College
