In accordance with the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) guidelines, East Carolina University and the Office of the Registrar are not able to provide confidential information pertaining to students without one the following:

• Written consent from student.  This is done electronically through ECU OneStop.  Students will log in with their Pirate ID and Passphrase and click on BUCKLEY FORM to give authorization for third parties (including parents) to access their student record.

          OR

• Visual confirmation, (by way of a copy of an income tax form) that the parent(s) claim the student on the most recent tax return.  All financial information may be suppressed, but the student's name and social security number must be listed under the dependents section of the most recent Federal Income Tax Form 1040 or 1040A. 

Once we have received this information, we will be happy to comply with the request.
