Information for Designees under
UCONN’s Online FERPA Privacy Waiver
FERPA Privacy Waiver Provisions
The Online FERPA Privacy Waiver includes five categories of information: Financial Aid, ResLife, Husky One-Card and Academic Information (Office of the Registrar), and Community Standards (The Student Code). This page explains exactly what information the University may discuss with you if your student has named you as a designee under the Online FERPA Privacy Waiver.
Even if your student has designated you under the Online FERPA Privacy Waiver, University faculty cannot discuss academic information (e.g., student grades) with you. You will need to have your student sign a separate, specific waiver in order for this to occur. If you need more information, please contact Rachel Krinsky Rudnick, the Assistant Director of Compliance/Privacy at (860) 486-5256 or rachel.krinsky@uconn.edu.
In addition, please be aware that the Dean of Students and Student Health Services waivers are not included in this Online FERPA Privacy Waiver process. However, each office's respective waiver form is available online at the sites provided below. If your student wishes to delegate you as a designee who can discuss their information and records with either of these two offices, please ask your student to complete and forward the appropriate form to these offices for processing.
Should you lose or forget your pass code, please contact your student to remind you of the number, or set a new pass code. The administrative offices listed below will not be able to assist with lost or forgotten pass codes.
