                                 The Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships is dedicated to protecting the
                                    privacy rights of all students. The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA)  requires educational institutions to limit the release of information to third parties.
                                    For the purposes of FERPA, parents are considered third parties.
                                 For a parent to receive financial aid information for a student's account, we must
                                    authenticate that the parent is the parent listed on the FAFSA or we must have a signed
                                    Permission to Release Financial Aid Information Form  on file from the student.
                                 The student may designate anyone they wish to access their financial aid information,
                                    but it can also include limitations on the information provided.
                                 Requests for information related to satisfactory academic progress or academic record
                                    information are excluded.
                                 It is important to note that this form only applies to the Office of Student Financial
                                    Aid and Scholarships.
