Parents
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), students at the University of Missouri-St. Louis are given a “Right to Privacy”. When a student wishes to allow third party (parental) access to their educational records, they may complete a Non-Directory Information Release Form in the Registrar’s Office. Students may not select subsections of academic records to be released.
All permissions granted will stay in effect until revoked in writing by the student.
If the student is claimed as a legal dependent on either parent’s most recent federal income tax return, the University may release information to the student’s parent(s). However, the University is not required to do so, and prefers that students take the initiative to disclose and discuss academic goals and progress with their parents.
