Private records are releasable without prior written consent to school officials with legitimate educational interests. "School official" generally includes parties such as: professors; instructors; administrators; health staff; counselors; attorneys; clerical staff; trustees; members of committees and disciplinary boards; and a contractor, volunteer or other party to whom the school has outsourced institutional services or functions. A school official generally has a "legitimate educational interest" if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

You should forward all requests for private information to the Office of the Registrar.
