Privacy of Educational Records and Access to Information

The University of Denver is committed to the safeguarding and accurate maintenance of student records. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 provides students with a number of rights regarding their educational records.

Occasionally students will need to release part or all of their student record to third parties such as parents, attorneys, or employers. The University of Denver will not release student records without the written consent of the student.

Current students who wish to release student records should complete a Release of Confidential Student Record information Release.

Former students and alumni who want to release student records should complete the PDF release located here.
