Release of Information (FERPA)

You must setup a FERPA pin in order to discuss your specific academic record.

Student records at The University of Utah are governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and its implementing regulations.

A student must authorize the University of Utah to release information to any 3rd party, such as a spouse or parent, whether over the phone, in person, or electronically.

These records include, but are not limited to, Financial Aid, Scholarships, Tuition, Registrar Records, Housing Residential Education, and Academic Advising records.

Note: If you request information to be released to your email account, the information will be sent to your UMail account.

Students without CIS Access

If you are a former student and are unable to access the online FERPA Release Form, you may download the Academic Advising Center's Release of Information form, fill it out, and email it to your advisor.

Our Release Form is only good for Academic Advising Center Offices. You may need to submit FERPA Release Forms with other University of Utah offices or departments depending upon your needs.

Prospective Students

Prospective students do not need to fill out a FERPA Release Form since they do not have active student records at the University of Utah.
