The Partners In Education program is designed to strengthen the three-way partnership among the student, the family, and the University so as to maximize support of the academic success of the student. By completing and signing a Student Release of Confidential Information form, students may allow designated persons access to specific academic information otherwise protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). These designated persons will have access to grades and progress reports of their student members, letters concerning certain types of disciplinary dispensations, and may telephone or e-mail the Academic Support Center for other information related to their students’ academic progress, financial aid, and account information as long as the membership is active. Students may withdraw permission to release information at any time.

Students are encouraged to enroll in Partners In Education, and may do so by submitting the P.I.E. form to the Academic Support Center in the McFarland building
