EMAIL RELEASE FORM
I understand that Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects my records, including grades, and that schools can’t send grades to me via e-mail without my permission. I further understand that FERPA has put this requirement in place because there is no guarantee of confidentiality on the Internet. My signature below will signify my understanding that e-mail is considered an unsecured electronic form of communication (i.e. person or persons other than the student may see or intercept e-mail communication).
By providing my e-mail address and signing this release, I am requesting that Francis Tuttle Technology Center send my grades and other communication concerning my school records and account via e-mail. This may include: course grade reports, attendance status, account balances, financial aid status, and other student information. Any electronic transmission of grades is not considered an official transcript.
I further understand that this authorization will continue until it is revoked in writing and such revocation is delivered to my instructor. The school will assume no responsibility of such release of records.
