Keeping Informed
In many circumstances, the federal law known as FERPA prevents educational institutions from releasing information about students to anyone, not even their parents. We encourage you to keep informed about your son's/daughter's study abroad program by talking directly with him/her about it.
Before students depart for their study abroad program, participants will be asked to complete the Study Abroad Student - Release of Information form.
