FERPA (Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act) is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of education records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their education records, and to provide guidelines for the protection of inaccurate and misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Be sure to look over Confidentiality of Student Records so you know what rights students have under FERPA.
The Office of the Registrar follows FERPA guidelines, which limits the information that parents can access without consent of their student. Be aware when a student reaches the age of 18 or begins attending a post secondary institution regardless of age, FERPA rights transfer to the student. Students can give their parents access to their non-directory information (grades, GPA, etc.) by filling out the Student Permission Form .
Beginning with Summer 2007, all students graduating with bachelor’s degrees can access CUConnect to get documentation of their class rank, as approved by the Chancellor and Dean’s of the schools and colleges.
Students in the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, as well as the College of Engineering, will be ranked with all students who have graduated over the past year (current graduates plus the previous two - to include summer, fall and spring graduates) within their major. All other colleges will be ranked also with all students who have graduated over the past year, but within their college.
Students who graduate with a Diploma in Education will not be ranked unless they also graduate with a major from one of the colleges as noted above.
Graduates can access their class rank via the MyCUInfo portal. This document can be found on the MyAcademics page under Class Rank Letter.
