Consent to Disclose Financial Aid Information to a Third Party

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. Non-directory education records are considered confidential and will not be released without written consent from the student.

Students may use the Consent to Disclose Financial Aid Information to a Third Party form to authorize the person(s) identified to have access to otherwise confidential information protected under the FERPA law.

Please be aware that due to federal regulations, some forms require a handwritten signature (cannot be typed). Please refer to the individual form for specific signature instructions (if any).

Federal Regulations allow us to adjust the FAFSA to reflect more realistic information when a family's income is drastically reduced from one year to the next. If you would like to request a re-evaluation of your income, please submit one of the following forms:
