FERPA Q&A: Spousal access to a student record

Question: Can a spouse access a student record?

Answer: A spouse is considered a third party, and therefore must have the student's permission to access non-public information. For One Stop related information (e.g., registration, grades, financial aid, student account), a student can give his or her spouse access by using Parent/Guest Access. Parent/Guest Access gives the designated third party access to view online systems and to call or email with questions related to the access granted. For individual requests, such as obtaining a transcript on the student's behalf, the spouse must present a signed and dated statement from the student giving the spouse permission.
