UConn students may grant permission to University staff to discuss certain types of information related to or contained in their student records with individuals designated by the student (FERPA designee). Students will use the FERPA Designee Pin Page to create a 4-digit pin code for each FERPA designee, which this person provides when contacting university staff.

Info

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the confidentiality of student records. Except in limited circumstances, the University may not disclose student records and information without consent.  There are several tools that students can use to authorize University officials to share certain records and information:

  • To give an individual access to view certain information in the Student Administration System, a student may set up Delegated Access.

  • To permit certain University officials to discuss specific student information, the student needs to create a FERPA Pin Code via the FERPA Designee Pin Page.

  • To authorize an individual to make payments on their behalf, students may set up an authorized user in the bill paying system.
