CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Students and parents or spouses both provide information
needed to accurately assess a student’s need for financial
aid; however, once a student is enrolled and has submitted their
financial aid information, students are covered under the Federal
Privacy Act of 1974 and information regarding the student is not

may ask the student to provide the financial aid office a written
statement giving them access to student information. The
student is under no obligation to provide such access.
