FERPA, also known as the Buckley Amendment, considers college students as responsible adults who are allowed to determine who will receive information about them. Under this law, parents who want to receive a copy of their student\u2019s academic or financial records can do so only if their student signs a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northpark.edu\/campus-life-and-services\/student-administrative-services\/student-forms\/\">FERPA Release form<\/a>. We encourage you to have a conversation with your student about how information regarding academic and financial records will be shared.<\/p>\n<h2>External Resources<\/h2>\n<p>The transition to college can be an exciting but challenging time. Not only are students adjusting, but parents and families have some adjusting to do as well.
