Normally, no. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) student record rights transfer to the student at age 18 or once he or she attends a post-secondary institution, regardless of age. Parents or legal guardians may obtain “education records” (e.g., grades, grade point average, academic standing) at the discretion of the institution, only if they can establish that the student is a financial dependent or by obtaining the student’s written consent. You are considered “financially dependent” if either parent or your legal guardian claimed you as a dependent upon his or her most recent Federal income tax return. The Registrar’s Office will require that the parent(s) or legal guardian provide either your written and signed consent or a copy of the filed tax return before it releases the requested information. For detailed information describing FERPA regulations, consult either the Registrar’s Office web site at http://registrar.ucf.edu or the United States Department of Education Family Compliance Office web site at http://www.ed.gov/offices/OM/fpco/
