Students have the ability to provide consent for certain offices to discuss their records with a parent or other designee through the FERPA Designee Pin Page (FDPP). Using the FDPP, Students create a 4-digit pin for each FERPA designee and identify which information contained in a student’s education record can be discussed.
When a designee contacts a University office they will be asked to provide their name and the 4-digit pin. Name, pin, and the selected category of information must match what is listed on the FDPP in order for University staff to discuss information specific to a student's education record.
University officials, including staff and student workers, who work in an area that manages student education records can request "Viewer" access to the FERPA Designee Pin Page in order to confirm that the student provided consent to speak with a designee.
