Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Thursday, November 21, 2024
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records. In compliance with FERPA, University of Arkansas - Pulaski Technical College is prohibited from providing non-directory information to anyone other than the student unless authorized by FERPA. The restricted information includes grades, billing information, tuition and fees, financial aid (including scholarships, grants, work-study, or loan amounts) and other student records. The restriction applies, but is not limited to, parents or guardians, spouses, or a sponsor.
UA - Pulaski Tech is dedicated to complying with FERPA and to educating students, faculty, staff and parents about this important federal law.
Release of Student Information
If you wish to release your student records to another person (parent, guardian, spouse, etc.), the student can allow Third Party Access to individuals on their student Workday account. Please refer to the QRG - Configure My Friends and Family for step-by-step instructions. Once permission is given by the student, the individual can refer to the QRG - Third Party Access to Workday for step-by-step instructions.
The student can also turn in a Release of Student Information form to the Records Office. The Release of Student Information form allows you to give access to your student records without providing a third-party Workday account. A separate form must be completed for each individual who you wish to release your information to. This form is available in the Advising and Records office. Once completed, please turn this form into the Office of Records (Campus Center Building, Room 337) at the Main Campus or at the Little Rock-South site (Student Services suite) with a valid photo ID. You may also request and submit the form by e-mail at records@uaptc.edu.
This form can only be completed and turned in by the student. Parents, guardians, spouses, etc. cannot complete the form on a student’s behalf.
Restriction of Directory Information
Students who wish to restrict UA - Pulaski Tech from disclosing directory information (name, phone number, address) must fill out a Restriction of Directory Information form. This form is available by e-mailing records@uaptc.edu and must be turned in to the Office of Records (Campus Center Building, Room 337) at the Main Campus or at the Little Rock-South site (Student Services suite) with a valid photo ID.
