Student FERPA Consent Forms

Disclosure of a student's confidential education records requires prior written consent of the student (unless disclosure is permitted under certain exceptions to FERPA set forth in Section 99.31 of the FERPA Regulations). A student's written consent may be obtained by using the applicable form below.

• Generic Student Consent Form - Use this form when a department or unit on campus requests disclosure of a student's education records. 

• Student Request for Disclosure Consent Form - Use this form when a student requests disclosure of his/her education records to a third party. (MS Word format)

• Verification Letter - Use this form for verification when a third party has requested education records, and it is not clear that the student has consented to such disclosure in writing. Fill in the blanks on this sample letter then send to student. Do not release a student's records to the requesting party until he/she responds to this letter.
