Current Families

As a member of the Nanook family, you probably have a lot of questions about campus events, on-campus services, dining and other practical topics your student may need help with. We want to make sure that you and your student are prepared for college and understand how to stay safe, well-fed and healthy while on campus.

FERPA for Families

We know how important it is for you and your student to stay informed on their academic progress. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects your student's right to manage their academic records. FERPA empowers every student to:

  • Inspect and review their education records
  • Have some control over who that information is shared with
  • Seek to amend incorrect information

Students must complete the FERPA release form to allow parents and families access to their education records. You can learn more about the importance of FERPA below.
