  Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, UAA is limited in the information we can share with individuals and agencies other than directly with the student, even if the student is a minor. If students wish UAA to discuss student account information with parents, spouses, or others assisting them with their educational goals, they must provide written authorization by completing the Authorization to Release Education Record Information form. The completed form and a copy of photo ID must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar.

  Please Note: While the authorization form allows UAA to discuss specific student account information with the authorized individual, it does not authorize that individual to act on behalf of the student.
