Body
About
At K-State, students wanting to disclose educational records to a third party must submit a consent form to the Registrar's office.
This form allows a student to create a one-time release to a designated third party so it can receive information about the student’s education record. Access can be limited to certain documents or types of records, and limits the people who are allowed to view or discuss a student's educational record to only those designated by the student on the form.
Audience
Details
To submit a request, complete the Consent to Disclose Educational Records form on the Office of the Registrar's website.
The form may be used to allow college officials to speak with a designated third party (parents, spouses, or others) though it's use does not mandate that information will be released.
Please note that while the form gives the Office of the Registrar permission to share otherwise protected information when requested, it does not mean that the Office will initiate contact with third parties, nor does it give the third party the right to act on behalf of the student. In some cases, the Office of the Registrar may first contact the student before sharing information even if a release has been submitted.
While this release covers the vast majority of educational records, some offices (i.e., Office of Student Life, Office of Student Financial Assistance, Cashier and Student Accounts, etc.) may require additional or specialized release forms or Designated Access to be signed by the student.
Notes
-
This release form is only valid for a one-time request and cannot be accepted as a blanket authorization beyond a one-time use. A form is required every time a student wants to grant permission for a one-time release of information without student involvement.
-
Once the form is filled out and filed with the Registrar's office, student educational information is more secure. Contact the Registrar's office at registrar@ksu.edu for assistance or information regarding this form.
