CONSENT FOR STUDENT RELEASE OF INFORMATION
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of aspects of a student’s educational record
that are not considered ‘directory’ information. Educational records include financial aid and student account records which are considered confidential and
will not be released without written consent from the student, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. For this reason, it is
necessary for the Office of Student Financial Aid at Halifax Community College to obtain permission from a student in order to release financial information
not excluded by FERPA laws. For a full disclosure regarding FERPA, see * below.
In accordance with the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act, I, the undersigned, authorize the release of my financial information to the individuals
named below. This release only pertains to my financial records and does not allow the individuals named below, access to information from any other
department or office except if it impacts financial aid eligibility and charges.
I agree to waive my rights under FERPA and allow the below-named person(s) access to my financial records effective as of this date and until revoked in
writing to the Office of Student Financial Aid.
*Please refer to the current year school catalog or www.halifaxcc.edu.
** When calls are received by our office, we are unable to release information without proper identifiers. Callers must provide student ID number
and/or social security number to be given information over the telephone.
