Financial Aid FERPA Policy

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) deals with the rights of students and parents relating to:

• Inspecting records.
• Procedures to request amendments to those records.
• Rights concerning disclosure of personally identifiable information.
• Rights concerning filing a complaint with the Department of Education for a school’s failure to comply with FERPA requirements.

If a student wishes to have financial aid information released to other individuals, a release can be signed in the Financial Aid office or printed from the student's MyHawkeye account and submitted to the Financial Aid office.
