FERPA Release
Collect student consent to release educational records to designated third parties with this FERPA Release form, helping schools document authorization clearly and keep requests organized.
A FERPA Release form gives schools a clear place to record when a student authorizes educational records to be shared with a designated third party.
This FERPA Release template focuses on the essentials: who the student is, who may receive the records, and the consent language that documents the authorization. That makes it easier for school staff to review requests consistently and keep a clean record of what was approved. The template also gives you a starting point for handling release requests in an organized way as they come in.
Because every school handles records requests a little differently, you can tailor this template to your process, add your own wording for the authorization statement, or adjust the fields to reflect the information your office needs before releasing records. If your team routes requests for review, you can also connect the form to the next step in your process with Workflow Automation.
