AUTHORIZATION RELEASE FORM – EXCESSIVE CREDIT HOURS
PLEASE PRINT CLEARLY
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) permits the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
(THECB), the State of Texas educational governing entity, with your consent, to disclose to Texas A&M
University-Kingsville (TAMUK) the number of attempted credit hours you have taken at Texas institutions of
higher education. This information is typically used to gather demographic statistics for the purpose of improving
educational programs and to determine if students are graduating in a timely manner.
Signing this authorization will allow THECB to release all attempted credit hours to the Registrar or other
university official to determine if you have exceeded the number of attempted credit hours established by the Texas
