FERPA Guidelines on Release of Grades and GPA Information
FERPA Main Menu
Grades and Grade Point Averages are never released to agencies or persons outside the University without the written consent of the student. Grades and GPA information are not given out over the telephone to anyone.
Faculty and administration who receive non-directory information are responsible for protecting the confidentiality
of the students involved, and are not permitted to rerelease this data to anyone without the prior written consent
of the students involved.
- Do not publicly display students’ scores or grades in association with names or student ID numbers.
- Do not place papers, exams, or lab reports containing student names and grades where publicly accessible.
- Do not share student educational record information, including grades or GPAs, with other faculty or staff
members of the University unless their official responsibilities identify their “legitimate education interest” in
that information for the student.
- Do not share by telephone or correspondence information from student educational records, including grades,
GPAs, and letters of recommendation, with parents or others outside of the institution, without written consent
of the student.
