Confidentiality of Student Records (FERPA)
The federal law called the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, also known as FERPA or the Buckley Amendment, maintains that a student's financial
records are private and confidential. The information contained in these records may only be released with consent from the student.
If a student wishes for the University Cashier's Office to discuss any details of their account with a parent, guardian or other, they must complete the
online authorization through MyPACK Portal (using the student's Unity ID and password).
Select "Main Menu", "Student Self Service", "Campus Personal Information", and "Parent/Guardian Access" and enter
the required information.
- By virtue of creating the following "Parent/Guardian" account, you have granted the university permission to share specified records with a third party, such as a family member.
- You have the right to revoke this access at any time.
- Students still have the primary responsibility to share important information with third parties who have a need or desire to know. This is important for several reasons.
